Carlo Borsattino
Pilot, Flybubble co-founder and Director
Carlo is a highly experienced free flight pilot, coach, guide and instructor. Even after many years and thousands of hours of free flying, he's still a highly passionate pilot.
Licensed as a British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA) paragliding instructor in the early nineties, Carlo instructed at various free flight schools around the world. Over the years he's helped teach hundreds of people to free fly, and fly better and safer, worldwide.
Carlo has run many free flying trips, including training, cross country (XC) and safety (SIV: from the French "Simulation d'Incidents en Vol", meaning simulation of incidents in flight) courses, and has amassed thousands of hours of airtime in over thirty countries.
Nancy Elliott
Pilot, Flybubble co-founder and Director
Nancy enrolled on a paragliding course in 2001 and has never looked back (or is it down?). She soon moved away from "The Big Smoke" to live in Sussex so she could fly as much as possible. Nancy has travelled far and wide with her wings, flying in the UK, Europe, South America, Africa and Asia.
As well as being Flybubble's Co-Director and organiser extraordinaire, Nancy is an Advanced Pilot (BHPA) and Dual Rated (tandem pilot). She is also one of the guides for our paragliding trips and cross country courses, and an enthusiastic Club Coach for the Southern Hang Gliding & Paragliding Club.
She enjoys getting high and going far, especially in England. In 2015 she won the UK XC League (Women).
