About Us
The Glider Pilot Regiment Society of Family, Heritage and Remembrance (UK Registered Charity No. 1184175) was set up in 2017 following the winding down of the Glider Pilot Regimental Association (GPRA). The Society was not intended to replace the GPRA but rather to educate about the history of the Regiment and provide a community for Glider Pilot Veterans, their relatives and those with a connection to the Regiment.
Enquiries are welcomed from anyone seeking information about the Regiment. Services are free to relatives of Glider Pilots. However, as a charity, donations from other enquirers would be gratefully received.
Membership of the Society is open to Veterans of the Glider Pilot Regiment (including those RAF pilots who took part in Operation Varsity) their relatives and anyone who has an interest in the Regiment and its exploits.
Amongst other things, becoming a member brings with it our high quality Glider Pilot's Notes magazine and the opportunity to attend the Annual General Meeting and other member-only events, all in the knowledge that you will be supporting the Society's commitment to Heritage and Remembrance.
There are four categories of annual membership: VETERAN (free), RELATIVE, FAMILY (up to 2 adults and all children under 18) and FRIEND. Please email the Membership Secretary who will be delighted to provide you with more details.
