sonnel of HM Forces and their dependants, and they also ran 'Gliding Adventurous Training Courses' for servicemen. In the mid 70s, Oxford University Gliding Club moved to RAF Bicester as well.
In 1961 the British Pathe news agency made a film about gliding at Bicester entitled 'Gliders do a Farnborough', copies of which have been republished and made generally available online along with many other old film clips.
In an attempt to reduce costs, the MOD decided to move the RAFGSA Centre to RAF Halton and in June 2004 the move finally took place. It was decided to continue the long tradition of gliding at Bicester, the Windrushers Gliding Club was reformed by several RAFGSA and civilian members before the final departure of the RAF, and the club was officially re-opened on July 1st 2004 at Bicester Airfield. Oxford University Gliding Club continues to be co-located at Bicester.
