The Essex and Suffolk Gliding Club (ESGC) had been under threat since learning its lease at Wormingford Airfield close to the Essex and Suffolk border would expire in September. However, a new site in Suffolk has now been found, with the site not expected to be ready until mid-2027 at the earliest. For many years, the club has encouraged young people to discover the sport of gliding, with around 20 junior members at any given time. Twelve-year-old Isabella Gilks is also ready to fly solo but must wait until she turns 14 in 2027. An ESCG spokesman said: "It was probably a record for the club to have three juniors go solo in one day.
