Nice to see Kemble from a different perspective.

What were you flying in today?

Stu

Would you believe, a K8B (G-DETD) out of Aston Down.

Ahh, a proper glider!

I've driven past Aston Down airfield before but didn't know it was still active in any way. I assume it is just gliders these days?

Nowadays very busy with gliders; the RAF finally left in the mid-1970s.
