Our Blog is an up to date record of what we have been up to both in the school and out of it. We endeavour to update it as regularly as possible and include a sample the days pictures when available.

You can scroll back through the Blog and follow various students progress through their training and get a good idea of how the school operates.

You will also find records of our trips abroad which will give you a good idea of what to expect should you wish to come on one with us.

Please visit it on a regular basis and feel free to add comments.

Nice start to a New Year

Ok it wasn't brilliant sunshine but it was nice and pleasant out in the filed with a light northerly breeze which got a little fickle part way through the day but finished up an ideal one. Graham A was along putting in some Tows as a qualified CPC pilot alongside Steve D both of whom enjoyed the smooth air an practised their spot landings.
Paul H and Dave B cam along for Day one of their two day taster sessions and after a full morning of PLF's, canopy checks, ground handling and theory they were ready for some hand tows by just after lunch time. With a very light breeze it meant plenty of running but they soon got the hang of it and were ready for the winch. By then the family had turned up to watch which brought several wind changes none of which settled until finally we were pretty much back where we started! Still with a bit of breeze things got easier and they both put in some super flights across the field and even managed stand up landings looking like they almost knew what they were doing. Big smiles and we look forward to seeing them back soon.
