August is the second of the Ghost Squadron flying holidays, that is set in the heart of the Norfolk countryside in a quiet village called Binham. That hosts a all day pub a fresh butcher a corner shop that stocks everything you could ever want including a petrol station, Binham itself is only 3 to 4 miles away from Wells Next To The Sea. A nice turn out for the 8 day break, and weather is meant to be good for the week. People start to turn up from 9am on the Wednesday morning and by mid day gliders were in the air.
The two 1/2 scale vintage gliders at the back of the picture belong to John and Tony of the Ghost Squadron
There is quite a range of gliders, tugs and powered planes Always a covering of gliders on the field ready to be towed up, with the tugs working throughout the day.

And Josh my little helper through the week, get my tow loop out of the bucket
Gliders come in all shapes and sizes to this event,also some very nive scale powered models

I would like to say a big thanks to Andrew John and the rest of the Ghost Squadron team for a great weeks flying.
