Moonrakers Gliding Club

RAF Upavon first came to my attention while on my Air Radar Fitters course at RAF Yatesbury in 1961.
I was taken by a friend to the Gliding Club operating from Upavon and quickly got hooked on flying. The CFI at the time was John Williamson and a bunch of other very competent pilots. I have started a blog about my experiences there and hope this contributes just a little to the history of RAF Upavon.
