Answer 3

I think the Air training corps give gliding lessons too young people as part of the programme, there is an ATC near to Ken Dodds house in Knotty Ash.

"Most activities are free - or at least included in the Squadron subscriptions. So shooting, gliding, flying, sports and other activities are usually all provided free.

There may be exceptions. For instance, the Diss Squadron arranged a scuba try-dive for the cadets and there was a modest fee for this payable to the dive centre.

Precise costs for activities will therefore depend upon the Squadron and activity, but you should expect the cost for most activities to be included in the regular subscription amounts."
