After writing to National Grid to find out more about electricity, nine-year-old Henry Russell, who has autism, accepted an invitation to fly in National Grid operational helicopter and have a private tour of the IFA2 interconnector site.



Henry, who wore his favourite jumper adorned with a picture of a pylon for the trip, has been interested in electricity since he was small. He often uses string to recreate overhead power lines at home and recently completed a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of a pylon.
