622 Volunteer Gliding Squadron is based at Upavon in Wiltshire. Our purpose is to promote and encourage a practical interest in aviation by introducing cadets in the Air Training Corps and Combined Cadet Force to glider flying.

We run Gliding Induction Courses and Gliding Scholarships for ATC and CCF cadets throughout the year, primarily covering Dorset & Wilts, Hants & Isle of Wight and Middlesex wings. We operate every weekend of the year and also run four one week courses every year.

We are staffed entirely by volunteers: RAFVR(T) officers, civilian instructors and staff cadets. We have seven Viking gliders which we operate via winch launch.

We are not a civilian club; if you are not in the Air Cadets, the Wyvern Gliding Club also operate at Upavon.
