Fantastic day experiencing gliding. Helpful and very friendly instructor and grounds staff. I had 3 flights in total with both types of launch. Was instructed how to turn and control the glider as well as taking control for a few moments. Very e coving day.

Everyone at the club both members and instructors alike are very friendly and very helpful. They cater for all abilities and the training course is not to strenuous but extremely effective. Would definitely recommend the club to anyone whether it be for a fun day out or to complete the solo glider pilot training.

Went as part of a virgin experience day and can whole heartedly recommend it. All the people we met were friendly and wanted you to get the most out of your time with them. The experience itself is great, they let you have a go at taking control of the glider to see how it feels and the quiet is really unexpected. Chose this one as it was the nearest to Preston, which is quite a way but it was worth the journey! A great introduction to gliding and can recommend to anyone wanting to try it.

We had a pair of unusual visitors at Saltby today. Rafa40 stopped by on their marathon paramotor trip across the country, visiting over 40 current or former RAF bases and raising money for the RAF Association.... facebook.com/BuckminsterGC/…

Here's a video showing Loughborough Students' Union Gliding Club doing a less than serious science experiment at our airfield last summer. Thanks to Gliderfx. facebook.com/BuckminsterGC/…

Low cloud prevented us from flying today but there was still much to do. Our simulator was set up for VR (photo is the CFI trying it out) and our K21 was rigged after some time away.

A great day on Sunday with our visitors from Milfield experiencing 6,000 foot cloud bases. A good flight to by David, who on his third flight was demonstrating how to turn the glider and was rewarded with seeing over 9 knots on the averager!
