Darlton Gliding Club

Congratulations to Paul McIntyre (left) on completing his first solo flight. Seen here with our CFI Al Clarke.

Congratulations to Simon Lile on completion of his first aerotow solo on 28th September.

As the door sadly closes at the Kirton in Lindsey airfield, another has opened at Darlton Gliding Club, where relocated Trent Valley Gliding club members have been making new friends and great use of the late summer weather! Congratulations on what will be a great partnership for the future.

Congratulations to Andrew Barton who passed the practical test for his SPL TMG extension today.

Huge congratulations to Will, who was sent solo today by our CFI Al.

Take control at 14! ✨

Did you know you can fly solo in a glider before you can even drive? At 14, young pilots have the opportunity to take the controls and experience the thrill of flight - learning key aviation skills like aerodynamics, navigation, and decision-making. And once they've learnt the key skills they need, they will very soon be supported to take the glider up on their own!

Ready to take off? Find your nearest club today via our website.

Spot the glider. What a lovely sky to fly in!

Some very nice lift above Darlton today. Do you fancy a look at north Nottinghamshire / Lincolnshire from 5000ft? Why not join us on a trial flight? https://www.darltonglidingclub.co.uk/gliding-experiences/

Congratulations to Steve Payne after his resolo. Steve has come back to gliding after a 5 and a half year break.
