Bicester Airfield 09Aug16
Taken from Schleicher ASK 13 G-DHAL on a 25 minute flight from Bicester airfield.
A former RAF airfield its biggest claim to fame was the first flight of the prototype Handley Page Halifax took place here in 1939. The RAF ceased using the airfield in 1976 except as a gliding base but this moved to RAF Halton in 2004 and it now just houses a civilian gliding club plus a few general aviation aircraft.
