Edgehill Gliding Centre is a British gliding club near the village of Shenington in the Cotswolds, seven miles north west of Banbury.
The present club was founded in 1991, though gliding had been a regular activity at the airfield since 1984. The club operates every day of the week and currently has two K-13, a K-21, a K-8, a motor glider, two lpg powered winches and a Chipmunk tug. The two K-13 gliders are G-FCCC and G-DDVX, although it is not 100% confirmed which of the two gliders was involved in the above incident. G-FCCC is ex-BGA1427, and G-DDVC is ex-BGA2425.
