Look who turned up this morning 👀

G-BPRY will be with us for a few months and is now available to book online.

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

We wanted to make sure that all the fundamentals worked before we started work on all the nice additional things - so new booking and reminder emails will not be sent just yet.

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

All maintenance has been completed, and everything should be running smoothly, but if you hit any issues please let us know.

Thank you for your patience!

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

We’re currently carrying out upgrades to our online booking system to make your experience smoother and more reliable. Thank you for your patience, we’ll be back soon! Please call us in the meantime.

We’re closed tomorrow (19th November 2025) while works take place to remove the old Jet A1 storage tank.

@JRNI_inc We received an email, saying that you were migrating to another service which would cost us a lot more money, and that we would receive a phone call within 10 working days. Today is the 10th working day with no phone call. Is anyone there?

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

We’re making reporting of incidents, near misses and safety concerns even easier.

So go on, be a safety reporting superhero!

Got no Bank Holiday Monday plans? Tomorrow is Gamston’s fly in event.

Walk in tickets are available from us in person, just £5 per person and include live music and a hog roast.

With wall to wall sunshine forecast, it’s shaping up to be a great afternoon!

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

Today’s temperature forecast looks like our warm weather operations will come in to action this afternoon. All pilots are requested to follow these procedures to maintain safety and comfort.

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

Heads up! We’ll be closed tomorrow (Monday, 16th June) but back in action from 9am on Friday, 20th June.

See you then! 👋✈️

As the clocks changed last night, we’re now in British Summer Time (B.S.T.) which means local time is now an hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (U.T.C).

NOTAMs and meteorological information is an hour behind local time.

@jakewalsh90 Big congratulations again!

We’re in an anticyclonic gloom, where high pressure is trapping an area of moisture close to the surface of the Earth, forming low cloud, mist and fog (which can’t lift and clear) and continues to feed itself by rethickening overnight when temperatures drop and moisture condenses

[Gamston Flying School @gamstonflying]

We’re looking for full and part time FI(A)s to join our team.

If you’re interested in providing instruction with us, please email [email protected] including a CV and cover letter.
