News about people making their first solo at the club
One of our relatively new members, Rory, went solo on Saturday 31 May 2025. Rory only needed around 20 aerotow flights to achieve the skills necessary to go solo, but did bring some hours of powered flying with him when he started gliding. Congratulations Rory!

One of our junior gliding members, Marco Vourla Nunez, went solo today in one of the club’s K13 training gliders. 15-year-old Marco only joined the Vale of White Horse Gliding Centre in February of this year, but had demonstrated he was ready to make his first solo flight today. After a well-executed ground run behind the tug plane, and an aerotow to 2000 feet, he executed some high-air manoeuvres, then a nice circuit and landing back at the airfield.
