Since the Brize Norton glider club has moved onto the main airfield we are now using their combination lock to access the site on weekends. All members have been advised of the combination number. Please ensure that the Combination lock is fitted between the chain and the MOD padlock when relocking the gate. First person in on any day must put out the two 'model flying in progress' signs at each end of the access track and must contact the guardroom to let them know we are on site flying. That phone number is 07483 693449. Likewise at end of day remove the signs and notify the guardroom.
On weekends entry is allowed from 9am but no engines to be run before 10am on any Sunday.
