  • The Arctic Lite Guid
    THE ARCTIC UTE GUIDE TO GLIDING "If you visit a gliding club on any sunny summer morning, you are likely to see lots of pilots with maps in their hands and intense expressions on their faces. They will be getting their gliders ready for take-off and may well be pouring gallons of water into their wings or muttering incomprehensible gliding jargon into their radio microphones. Very Strange! "If you watch one of the gliders get airborne and follow it closely (binoculars help) you may be able to spot when the pilot starts circling. Within a few minutes the glider will have climbed away until it has become a dot in the sky a few thousand feet up. Then the circling stops and the pilot sets off on course and rapidly disappears from sight. "Just about when you are enjoying your picnic tea, you may notice the same glider come in to land. The canopy opens and the pilot steps out, takes off his parachute and stretches himself hugely. He needs to because he has been cooped up in his cramped cockpit ever since you saw him disappear five or six hours ago. And in that time he may well have flown 200 or 300 miles following a route that he decided after listening to the early morning weather forecast. It all seems quite incredible and maybe a bit mystifying. "This Guide to Gliding has been published in collaboration with Arctic Lite lager who have given considerable financial support to the British Gliding Association for which we are most grateful.

  • The History of Lasham Airfield
    GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE A HISTORY OF LASHAM AIRFIELD Author Glyn Bradney Description Lasham airfield in WW2 and how it became a major gliding centre Date 28th April 2015, version 1.) INTRODUCTION The articles I’ve written for the Gliding Heritage Centre website to-date have been intended to fulfil the educational remit that the GHC has through being a registered charity. Given that the GHC is based at Lasham, which is one of the very largest gliding organisations in the world, it seems appropriate that I should write something on the history of Lasham itself. However, I’m not going to go into huge detail in covering every single one of the airfield’s many facets, there are other sources which I will reference should the reader really wish to “dig deep” into its evolution and past in particular areas. ("Lasham Airfield" by fr:Utilisateur:Steff - Personal picture ex Wikipedia, taken during a London Stansted-Dinard flight, May 2006, looking SE. Lasham village is at “3 o’clock”, the ATC maintenance facility at “5 o’clock”.) Lasham airfield, pronounced as “Lash-am” throughout the gliding world, was built by McAlpines in 1941/1942 using Irish labourers and Italian prisoners of war. The usual airfield naming convention was used, namely that of the nearest significant habitation, in this case Lasham village. The history of Lasham village itself goes back a long way. It’s recorded in the Doomsday All rights Reserved | The Gliding Heritage Centre, Lasham Airfield, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 5SS| GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE book of 1086 as being of “2 ½ hides”, at that time called “”Esseham”.

  • EGC 2017 Lasham, UK
    EGC 2017 Lasham, UK Covering Letter Dear IGC, The following document outlines the British Gliding Association / Royal Aero Club / Lasham Gliding Society bid to host the 2017 European Gliding Championships for the Open, 18m and 15m classes. Lasham is the largest gliding club in the UK, possibly Europe, operating from a large, flat, unobstructed airfield with tarmac aerodrome in the south of England, with over 600 active gliding members and a full-time professional staff. The permanent on-site facilities provide a comprehensive infrastructure basis for safely operating substantial glider numbers with plentiful camping, parking, rigging, water, gridding and operational space. A 100+ glider grid is commonplace for normal summer club operation and the club are highly experienced in operating UK national competitions. Most years, the Lasham team will host multi-class competitions with 100+ competitors. The larger competitions are facilitated with extra facilities brought in for the duration to complement the existing infrastructure. The Lasham facility boast excellent communications, plenty of nearby accommodation (including many on-site mobile homes and campsite) and the nearby towns of Alton and Basingstoke provide the best British welcome, from traditional village pubs to Heston Blumenthal’s ‘Fat Duck’ Michelin restaurant. London is 45 minutes by train, with Heathrow airport just 35 miles away via the M3 motorway. The UK is well connected for our international friends. There are multiple ferries from mainland Europe catering for car-trailer combinations. The nearby ports of Southampton and Portsmouth can accept containers, with modern links and logistics to bring containers to the field, or unload and bring gliders.

This will not only have residential homes with hangars, garages and the obligatory sauna but hotels, a marina, camp site and holiday homes all to go with the state of the art aircraft maintenance facility and training school (linked to the local Applied Sciences University) and runway. Two runways, both hard and soft, if the planners approve my idea for the additional soft. The possibility of an Air Traffic Control training centre may also be on the cards. Once again my thanks to Paul Tallet and Mark at Progression Marketing for setting the front cover of this Spring issue and to Paul for supplying the image and to all those who have contributed to this Newsletter.

Both were severely damaged. Visibility was generally in excess of 5 km, but was variable and decreased with height. The investigation concluded that the gliders had approached each other about 28° off head-on, probably while both were flying straight and level. Following the collision, the pilot of the Skylark parachuted to the ground with no injuries. The pilot 121 of the Ventus was injured in the collision and was still in his aircraft when the main wreckage impacted the ground.

    GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE ELLIOTTS of NEWBURY gliders (EoN) Author Glyn Bradney Description A reference guide to the wooden sporting gliders built by Elliotts of Newbury Date 14th August 2014 (version 3) INTRODUCTION This is the second of a series of articles intended to be a reference guide to sporting gliders built by British manufacturers. I decided to “bite the bullet” by starting with far and away the most demanding, namely the gliders built by Slingsbys. However, after Slingsbys there’s no question the next most demanding by a country mile is that of Elliotts of Newbury! This has essentially been a compilation effort pulling together information from a number of sources. However, I’ve also done a great deal of cross checking. Sources of course can be wrong, so if you spot information you believe to be incorrect please contact the author at [email protected] . Please also contact me if you have interesting new information as it’s likely I’ll be updating the document from time to time. The main sources are: Norman Ellison’s “British Gliders and Sailplanes 1922 – 1970” ISBN 0 7136 1189 8 The “Merseyside 1970” publication Richard Cawsey http://www.rcawsey.co.uk Scale Soaring http://www.scalesoaring.co.uk/ The amazing archive of gliding magazines hosted on the Lakes Gliding Club’s website http://www,lakesgc.co.uk Much appreciated advice from a number of VGC members: Dave Goldsmith, Geoff Moore, Peter Purdie, Al Stacey, Bruce Stephenson, Howard Torode + Wally Kahn David Ince, the Elliotts test pilot. I’m hugely indebted to David for a mass of new information on the history of the Olympia 4 series of gliders.
