London:
Indiana Jones star Harrison Ford is keeping up with his love for aviation during his time in UK by joining a local flying club.
The keen pilot, who is currently filming the new Star Wars movie in Buckinghamshire, England, signed up with the Shropshire Aero Club and hired a plane from the organisation over the weekend.
Mr Ford, 72, has rented an Aviat Husky propeller plane until mid-November, and has become an honorary lifetime member of the organisation, reported Daily Star.
The club's chief flying instructor Bob Pooler delivered the plane to the actor close to Pinewood Studios.
"Harrison Ford owns a couple of Huskys in the States, so he wanted to rent and fly one while over here. We happened to have one for rent. He called me up last Friday and left me a message. So I flew down on Sunday, did a check ride with him and got him to become a member because he has to be covered by our insurance," Mr Pooler said.
"I delivered the aircraft to Denham Aerodrome, just 10 minutes away from Pinewood Studios where the movie is being filmed. After he left me on Sunday I think he was going to visit friends on their landing strips.
