We’ve taken to the skies again — and this time under a new name.
Follow us at RAF Brize Norton Gliding Club to be part of the journey.

Daily Summary – A Huge Milestone Day

After more than two years, we are finally back in the air — and what a day it was.

Today marked our return to flying at Colerne, bringing us back to where it all began and making the moment even more special for the club.

We achieved a total of 17 launches, with 1 hour 57 minutes of flying time logged across the day. In total, 18 people flew, making it a fantastic turnout and a brilliant shared moment for everyone involved.

Operations ran smoothly with R20 as the sole aircraft flying, proving both the team and the setup are ready to deliver.

This wasn’t just about the numbers — it was about returning to our roots and getting airborne again, together.

An epic day back at Colerne — and just the beginning.

Great to see the turnout for Saturdays AGM and prize giving.
Massive thanks to Pete Suz and Jo for a fabulous roast dinner!
For me the last month or two has been challenging, missing flying but also missing the club members so this was a great opportunity to catch up. We will get these issues fixed soon
