KENLEY
Kenley was a great place to start one's journey into aviation.
A wonderful peaceful location on a Surrey common yet within sight of London.
A faithful servant of this country in two conflicts and in particular held the line in 1940.
The spirit of its history continued when 615 Gliding School was its only remaining link with flying and it remains as a testimony to all those who flew from there.
It was a privilege to have been allowed to be part of its continuing story in getting Cadets airborne, allowing then to explore their capabilities and develop a spirit of adventure.
This is why so many of us are appalled at the cretons that have destroyed an organisation that was so good at delivering the goods.
So often in life the real enemy is where you least expect it; in the case of Air Cadet Gliding it is running the show.
