What are the required qualifications for membership of the Royal Air Force funded Bicester Flying Club, which has recently moved to RAF Little Rissington. [HL2401]

The RAF Gliding and Soaring Association (RAFGSA) requires that at least 51 per cent of its membership are serving or retired members of the services or MoD civil servants. External members are allowed by invitation. The RAFGSA advises that 76 per cent of its members belong to the Armed Forces.
