Just before the start of the 2010 National Gliding Championship at Aston Down airfield. There are about 50 gliders lined up waiting to be launched by several tug aircraft. They all have to airborne within 1 hour, so for that time the airfield is very busy. Picture was taken from the clubhouse's balcony.
