The Suffolk Show is officially underway, and the Army Gliding Club (Anglia) stand is already seeing some fantastic action! We’re having a brilliant time out in the sunshine, sharing the thrill of soaring with the public alongside the wider Army displays.

Our static display, featuring the Discus (A6) glider, looks incredible out on the grass and is drawing plenty of curious onlookers. Our team has been busy chatting with visitors, answering questions about the sport, and explaining what it takes to get up in the air.

A massive draw today has been our triple-screen gliding simulator setup under the canopy. We’ve had aspiring pilots of all ages jumping into the cockpit to test their skills. From young enthusiasts getting their very first taste of the controls to visiting military personnel trying their hand at unpowered flight, the simulator is proving to be a huge hit!

The atmosphere is fantastic, and it’s great to see so much interest in the sport. If you’re visiting the show, be sure to come over, say hello to the team, and maybe even take the simulator for a spin yourself!
