Yes 611 GS was at Swanton Morley
Presumably 611 GS had a similar relationship to No 1 Gliding Centre as 644 GS did to No 2 Gliding Centre (Spitalgate) as was.
I did my initial (weekend) gliding course at 644 Spitalgate ,644 did the weekend training and No2 GC did the weekday courses.
So presumably 611 GS did the weekend courses/AEG at Swanton with No1 GC doing the weekday courses.
