ABOUT THE CLUB

The club was formed in the autumn of 1995 and has gradually increased its membership over the years.  It produces its own monthly full colour newsletter “BLOODHOUND” which keeps its 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 and Autogyros.  The club is also very much aware of the airfield’s history and has now reached 400 photographs dating from 1918 plus many artefacts now on display in our heritage room.  During 2013, the club added a rare example of a Bloodhound Mk1 missile to the collection which is now on display in the viewing area.

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 M.O.D.  Weekday aviators 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.
