A GLIDING club near Selby is hosting an open day for injured ex-servicemen.

Burn Gliding Club will host members of the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen’s Association (BLESMA), on Monday.

The group will tour the venue, and be offered flights in the gliders, weather permitting.

A spokesman for the club said: “The club is of course providing this day out for the veterans free of charge as an appreciation of the service that they gave to this country and that has cost them their loss of mobility.”
