RAF Gliding and Soaring Association Chilterns Gliding Club

The RAF Gliding and Soaring Association exists to give all service personnel, civilian MOD employees, and their families, the opportunity to experience the adventurous sport of gliding and Chilterns Gliding Club at RAF Halton is your local branch. Whether you just want an experience flight with one of our qualified instructors, or want to take the challenge further and learn to fly solo in one of our modern gliders, Chilterns Gliding Club can meet your aspirations. We have a very active club at Halton airfield that meets every weekend (and if conditions allow, midweek). If you would like to give gliding a try, come down to the airfield and meet us. If you are looking for an activity to share with colleagues as a Force Development Day, why not come gliding? Just give us a call as we can accommodate most requests with enough notice.

There is a cost associated with flying, but it’s a lot more reasonable than you may think, service personnel can currently experience two flights for £36, which will create more memories than a round of beers at the pub! I hope you are tempted, if so have a look at what YOU could be a part of this year, and check out our website at www.chilternsgc.co.uk or search chilternsglidingclub on Instagram. www.chilternsgc.co.uk

Following on from our successful winter expedition to Aboyne, Scotland, we have a spring expedition to the Black Mountains in Monmouthshire Wales to look forward to. Our training programme is progressing well with two members recently completing their British Gliding Association Bronze awards. If you wish to join them please get in touch through the website or contact your Station Flight Safety Officer, Flt Lt Rob Saddler on x8964.
