3 unusual facts about Oxford University Gliding Club


Oxford University Gliding Club

OUGC currently owns one ASK 21 two-seat glider, GAM, one single-seat Schleicher K 8 glider, HYX, and one Grob Astir CS, FEF, although members can also use gliders belonging to the Windrushers Gliding Club, the civilian gliding club that took over Bicester Airfield when the RAF left in 2004.

This wood and fabric glider was soon supplemented by a Grob G103 Twin II glass fibre two-seater, EGN, again via a loan from Pratelli, and the Ka 7 eventually moved on to another club.

It was replaced with the lower performance but easier to fly ASK 21, GAM.
