Husbands Bosworth

A fairly small gliding field in the 'heart of the Midlands' near Coventry, Husbands Bosworth has a few powered aircraft based as glider tugs, including about 3 or 4 of the relatively scarce Lycoming-powered variant of the Chipmunk.

Ask in the office for permission to go and take photos.

The Soaring Centre
Website hosted by the main users of the airfield. Plenty of info on the organisation, with useful stuff for the enthusiast including directions and a map, and a brief desription of the gliding fleet, including the tugs. The site layout is a bit confusing at first, but makes sense once you get used to it.
