I haven't been here for a year or so but called in as I was nearby a couple of weeks back, weather wasn't brilliant so it wasn't overly active, lots of people standing around waiting for an improvement in the weather. A few went up on brief trips with instructors in tow, here's a selection.....

Nice set Andy - makes a change to see some gliders.

thanks Ian, it's quite enjoyable there when the weather's right and they are busy. You can get nice landing shots by the end of the runway.

They are also very friendly there
