Thank you; list amended.
So apart from Kenley, there is no Air Cadet gliding in the most densely populated part of the country, the south east; Odiham, Abingdon, Halton, Henlow, Tangmere, Manston and probably Wethersfield and from Little Rissington to Honington there is a huge gap.
As Wing Gliding Liaison Officer (WGLO) I used to 'feed' cadets from my 29 Squadrons to courses at 612 Abingdon, 613 Halfon and 616 Henlow so I wonder where the cadets from my wing alone (Herts and Bucks Wing) go for air experience gliding nowadays let alone for weekend courses.
