Welcome to Sackville Flying Club

Sackville Flying Club, based in a quiet, pleasant rural location in North Bedfordshire, is home to a lively group of aviators, all of whom are passionate about flying. Within the club are three groups, whose interests span the three disciplines of Gliding, Microlight Flying and Power Flying. Many of the members have interests in more than one discipline, and indeed, some in all three. This site provides general information about the activities of the Club and location details for visitors by air and road.
