Windrushers Gliding Club

Windrushers originally started at operations at Little Rissington before moving to Bicester in 1956, later merging with the Royal Air Force Gliding & Soaring Association.

WGC would have lost privileges they enjoyed over other users of the airfield, which would have resulted in increased cost and reduced independence to run competitions or expand operations.

Bicester Heritage also looked to take over WGC property within the airfield, including the recently renovated clubrooms and workshops.

It is unclear how this conclusion was in keeping with the CASC guidelines, and no minutes of the committee meeting have been publicly distributed.

Previous fleet: The fate of the aircraft has been obtained from the CAA registration authority, as no minutes or details have been published by Windrushers Gliding Club since its dissolution.
