In 1965 the airfield started gliding operations run by the Upward Bound Trust.
The Upward Bound Trust is a charity that provides glider training for those over the age of 16. With the building of an industrial estate the trust held a hangar appeal supported by the local community of Haddenham, it raised enough money to build a new hangar and a new access road.[2]
