Buckminster Vintage Glider Group

The aims of the Buckminster Vintage Glider Group are to provide our regular Buckminster members an alternative to the higher end of gliding, and offer cheap and affordable flying in our Vintage Group gliders.

So if you are looking for that something that is a little different, we can offer you;

  • Encouragement in group participation in attending annual rallies throughout the country and Europe.
  • Support and advice in purchasing vintage and classic gliders.
  • To support and encourage with restoration projects.
  • To radically reduce individual costs of flying for fun.

If you want to take advantage of a dedicated Vintage Group magazine, not to mention access to our own dedicated workshop facilities, and fun flying at sites all over the UK, fill out the enquiry box below and join our Vintage Group today!

The Vintage Group operates separately from the main Gliding Club and we charge a small membership fee.  For that you can access more articles and online copies of our news letter, the Buckminster Vintage Times.  Here is a link to Issue 1 of the Buckminster Vintage Times.
