Looking for an exciting gliding experience in Colchester? Look no further than the Wormingford gliding club, located in Wormingford Airfield, Essex, and Suffolk. This club offers top-notch glider instruction in a modern, well-maintained aircraft fleet, all launched by winch. The Wormingford Gliding Club is situated in the heart of the Colchester/Braintree/Sudbury triangle and boasts up to 35 privately owned gliders and eight club-owned gliders in residence. The facility is friendly and welcoming, and the amenities are of the highest quality and well-maintained. The club offers a range of gliding sessions for everyone.
