ONLY Fools and Horses actor, David Jason, is coming to the aid of a Royal International Air Tattoo charity.

Mr Jason, who is a honorary vice-president of the annual Fairford-based air show has agreed to present an appeal by the gloucestershire based charity Flying Scholarships for the Disabled on the BBC's disability programme, Lifeline.

The charity gives disabled people the chance to learn to fly in a six-week course.

The appeal, which is due to be broadcast in April 2005, will feature students undergoing training in South Africa as well as interviewing them at home in the UK.

FSD Director Sue Whitby said: "We are delighted that David Jason has taken time out from his busy schedule to support our appeal."
