Good day yesterday with staff on QESO trg at Syerston (birthday boy lofty) & hosting cdts from 2W. Fortunately all cdts flew before X wind limits hit us. @fts_2 @No2WelshWing #bethebestinwalesandwest

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

The weather and Storm Dave dominated our Easter course, so limited flying 😔, but plenty of ground school and new winch instructors! @fts_2 @RGONorth

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

Issues in ME & rising price of gas/oil, 632VGS are trialling with Skylaunch a new bio gas winch.
A LoA has been signed with local farmers to collect methane from livestock. Not only low cost but staff can contribute with personal collection system too! @fts_2 @645VGS @615vgs

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

After our short hiatus, we’re back! We have a new G1, Sgt Wiggins, who now can fly cadets, FSC Barker has gained her gold wings and lots of blue wings for cadets! @cabster3560 @fts_2 @aircadets

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

Good trg w/e, with first timer fliers earning their blue wings and silver wings to FS McDermott upon his first solo @fts_2 @435SquadronATC @RCWalesandWest1 @staffswing

Happy St David’s Day for all our Welsh colleagues and cadets! @RFCAforWales

Managed some flying in between rain showers. Great to host @236 Sqn ATC.

Poor weather stopped play but visiting cdts earned their wings, toured the hangar and we enjoyed a lovely sunrise! @cabster3560 @fts_2

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

2078 sqn cdts earned their blue wings despite the weather dipping in and out of limits. New FSC’s got airborne too, with winch training being delivered as well! @cabster3560 @fts_2 @RCWalesandWest1 #bethebestinwalesandwest

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

Despite Storm Goretti, we managed to complete SCT checks and more importantly GiF cdts from @MerseysideWing gained their blue wings! @cabster3560 @fts_2 @aircadets

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

Happy New Year to you all! Unfortunately, first day of ops was out of x-wind limits. However, we did have our new FSC starting, so ground duties and lectures were the order of the day! @cabster3560 @fts_2 @aircadets

[632 Volunteer Gliding Squadron @632VGS]

Have a lovely Christmas break, recharge your batteries and we’ll see you in the New Year, roll on 2026! @cabster3560 @ComdtAC @fts_2 @aircadets
