Cambridge Gliding Centre

>>CAMBRIDGE GLIDING CENTRE
>>SCOUTS GOING SOLO

FOLLOWING the success of the Hitchin Air Scouts' Glide to Solo course, where five Explorer Scouts went solo at the age of 16, the group has obtained a Falke motor glider. The aircraft, G-BODU, will be based at the Cambridge Gliding Centre at Gransden Lodge.

County air adviser Neil Broughton and scout leader Colin Knowles were responsible for negotiating the use of the motor glider. 

Air Scouts will be able to enjoy air experience flights, enabling them to qualify for the aviation badges, such as Aeronautics and Airman.
