If the gliders were on the airfield last Sunday or before then they were probably partaking in this years Inter-Service Gliding Competition & the co-hosted 15 meter Nationals. The contest was held at RAF Honington, consisted of over 100 gliders & 10 tugs & was marred by bad weather. The mass land out on Sunday was spectacular with most landable fields in the Bury St. Edmunds area having at least one glider in them.

FF most of the pilots who fly in these competitions are very experienced & quite often proffessional pilots & should know better than to land unannounced at a known active airfield.
