The London Gliding Club is based at Dunstable Downs in Bedfordshire - a considerable distance from central London. The main constraint is actually that of regulated and controlled airspace. All flying from the site is subject to strict operational procedures agreed with NATS in addition to the Air Navigation Order, which is the governing law.
Thank you for posting, it's me taking off at 24:04
Yooo I went solo that day at around 1930! If you have any photos I would love to see them!
That me at 26:55
I'm surprised that a populated area like London would have the land and air space to host this kind of hobby aviation meet up.
That's the fun of it! It's nowhere near London!
