The club was formed in the autumn
of 1995 and has gradually increased its membership over the years.
It produces it's own monthly full colour newsletter "BLOODHOUND"
which keeps it's members updated about events and current news about
the club and aviation in the area. Currently there are no plans to
purchase or hire an aircraft for club use but as membership increases
so does the possibility of that happening.
North Coates Flying Club exists to keep aviation alive at North Coates
and this is demonstrated by the many varied aircraft based here. Group
A, Microlights, Autogyro's and even a paramotor or two. The club is also very much aware
of the airfield's history and has over 100 photo's spanning a 70 year
period in it's collection, plus many artefacts which hopefully one
day we will be able to display.
The club has a working agreement with the nearby Air Weapons Range
at Donna Nook and flying and training activity does take place during
the range hours in cooperation with the MOD. Weekday visitors must
contact the range by radio.
For this reason North Coates exists to provide a social and leisure
base for aviators and the popularity of our summer flying meetings
is an indication of the need for this facility. Annual membership
is inexpensive, certainly one of the most value for money in the area.
For further details contact us by
e-mail, through the postal address or telephone
