Welburn
Note: This map only shows the position of Welburn village within the UK. If anybody can kindly offer advice about the location of the gliding site, this will be much appreciated.
WELBURN: Gliding site
Operated by: Slingsby Flying Club
Location: In/near Welburn village, S of the A170 and roughly SE of Kirkbymoorside village
Period of operation: 1950s and perhaps into the 1960s?
NOTES: In the 1957 The Aeroplane directory, the Slingsby Flying Club, primarily intended for use by employees of Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd, were operating two Kirkby Tutors and one Kite 1. Which seems a bit mean considering how well Slingsby were doing at that time.
