Aim of the CFS Association


The CFSA was formed in 1951 to foster the spirit of friendship among members of the Association and the serving staff of the Central Flying School.

The Association currently has around 750 members, the majority of whom still reside in the UK. However, 58 members live overseas, from afar afield as California to New Zealand.
