Dartmoor Gliding Open Day
Dartmoor Gliding Open Day
After a successful event in May, Dartmoor Gliding Society will be hosting their second Open Day on Saturday 25th August 2012. It promises to be a great day out for all the family. Gates open at 09.30 a.m. and entry is completely free. Light refreshments will be available, or bring a picnic.
Come and see gliders being launched up to over a thousand feet in the air in just a matter of seconds by a powerful winch. Meet the pilots and watch Club Members rigging their own gliders.
Flights will be available throughout the day in a visiting Faulke motor glider and of course trial lessons will be given by our team of dedicated Instructors when special Open Day rates will apply.
Cheer on pilots performing a ‘Spot Landing Competition’ or try your luck in our Open Day Draw to win a flight in a motor glider, and have a go in our popular Flight Simulator (suitable for all ages). See interesting static displays and vintage gliders plus lots more.
Enjoy the stunning backdrop of Brentor Church and watch a spectacular flypast of a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and a Search & Rescue Sea King helicopter from 22 Sqn Chivenor. (weather permitting)
So come and join us for an interesting and fun filled day.
