We are a small, friendly club in which everyone chips in and pulls together and visitors are always made welcome. Over the last couple of years we have been unable to do training flights owing to the retirement of our then CFI. The good news now is that we have a new CFI and Assistant Instructor and can now resume flight training .
Our old 2 seat training glider was due for retirement and thanks to a grant from Awards for All we were able to purchase a replacement glider.
The airfield is situated 600 feet above sea level on Plascow Rig (ridge) and less than 5 miles from the Solway Firth. We have good thermal and wave conditions with a 3-mile long 1200 foot high ridge 2.8 miles east of the airfield which is flyable when the wind is anywhere between North-West and South-West which is almost always.
We fly every Sunday throughout the year - some very good flying is done through the winter - but be sure to wrap up well!
From Spring to Autumn we will be flying Sundays and sometimes Wednesdays and and will have some full weeks during the holiday season .
