The Gliding Heritage Centre

Thoroughly enjoyable solo tour with, if I remember correctly, Tony. The tour is completely free though I left a donation as it was well worth it. I had no idea how interesting gliders are. Their history is presented by way of a hangar and workshop tour. Also very interesting to be driven around the perimeter road to see what goes on at the airfield. Very friendly crowd and a nice cafe on site which I visited prior to the Sunday tour. Thank you for making me so welcome.

Visiting some friends at Lasham, we were unexpectedly offered the opportunity of a guided tour of the Heritage Centre. Although I have a layman's interest in aviation, I knew nothing of gliders and gliding. We were shown around the collection by the wonderful Graham Garnet, who explained the history of gliding and the background to many of the examples in the collection. A particular feature of most of these machines is that they are in airworthy condition and are flown regularly (although not necessarily frequently). As well as two hangars full of gliders, we also had the privilege of being shown around the workshop, where aircraft are restored and repaired. All in all a fascinating trip and well worth your time, even if you have no knowledge of gliding.
