Flying
Our fleet of high-quality, well-maintained
aircraft provides flying opportunities for pilots
of every standard, from two-seat trainers to
high-performance competition gliders.
Training
We have a highly experienced team of BGA-qualified instructors, all volunteers, helping you progress from novice to experienced pilot.
Dedicated Airfield
With full use of a 2,424 m (1.5 miles) runway, we fly from Wattisham Flying Station, home to the Apache helicopters of the Army Air Core (AAC).
Flying takes place outside military operational activities, generally at the weekend, although we occasionally fly on Friday evenings and public holidays.
Welcome
Army Gliding Club (Anglia) is part of the Army Gliding Association (AGA), which was established to introduce service personnel to the sport of gliding. And it now has places for veterans and civilian members.
We operate in a friendly, relaxed manner and are delighted to welcome new and prospective members.
Our reputation for flying all year round is well known (depending on the weather of course – we are driven by safety) so please get in touch if you’re interested.
