Running Costs
Vintage gliders unfortunately take time & money to keep in the air. While annual maintenance is largely a volunteer affair we have to pay for repair or refurbishment work, as well as the usual costs of hangearage and insurance. If you want to help us keep running (or maybe have enjoyed a flight as a passenger) you can donate via our Go-Fund-me page below.
Future Funding
While we may not be planning anything as grand as the Gilding Heritage Centrc (pictured above) our vision is to build a permanent home for an Air Cadet collection of aircraft, vehicles & equipment. This will allow us to maintain & preserve our gliders in flying condition as well as giving somewhere we can use to educate and inform aspiring pilots, engineers and enthusiasts.
