About this museum
Lasham's Gliding Heritage Centre: Europe's finest vintage-glider collection, most of them airworthy and actually flown, with free volunteer tours of the hangars and workshop.
Listed inventory: 57 airframes.
Book tours in advance; you will leave understanding why gliding people are like that.
- “A hidden gem. If you have even the vaguest interest in aviation/gliding history, take this fantastic (free) tour led by engaging and knowledgeable volunteers. A fascinating collection of lovingly cared-for vintage gliders.”— Pete W
