As part of the 60th Anniversary of the Horsham Flying Club, originally formed as the Wimmera Soaring Club in 1963 we are releasing a series of videos on the history of the club.

Over the 60 years that the Horsham Flying Club has been in existence, first as the Wimmera Soaring Club and now as the Horsham Flying Club we have had six different operational sites.
