Beverley Airstrip is in the Western Australian town of Beverley, on the edge of the wheatbelt and just 130 kilometres from the capital city Perth. It is one of Western Australia’s oldest towns.
Beverley has a strong history of aviation. The Silver Centenary, Western Australia’s oldest existing aircraft was built to commemorate the State’s centenary in 1929, and was constructed from chalk drawings sketched on the floor of the town powerhouse. The town airfield has been home for the last forty years to the Beverley Soaring Society, one of the biggest gliding clubs in Australia (120 members). The club was founded in 1973. As at December 2013, the club has three 2-seat training aircraft, two single-seat sailplanes and two Piper Pawnee Tugs. Additionally, members own a further thirty-five private gliders hangared at the airfield. Club members regularly compete at club, state and national levels and hold several State and National gliding distance, height and speed records.
