If you don't have any parking space available at Upavon, why don't you open up Upavon Gallops?

I landed on the Gallops many, many times in an Argosy. RAF Upavon used to send over a control wagon manned by a couple of lads and they made a very good cup of tea.

Incidentally, I was CFI of Chilterns RAFGSA Gliding Cub at Benson in 1970 when some local vandal set fire to our hangar and all of our lovely gliders went up in smoke.

We basically inherited the fleet of Moonrakers RAFGSA Club from RAF Upavon which had gone down the pan.
