100 Years of Wolverhampton's Airports Fly In, this Sunday.

Postby Will J » Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:05 pm

Hello everyone, first post here (PS hello Captain Spitfire, sir... :D )

Should anybody find themselves in the vicinity of the West Midlands on Sunday....

http://www.wolverhamptonairport.co.uk/# ... 4541605618

We will be there with Rapide G-AIDL (pleasure flights) and the Percival Prentice (static).. for more details see:
http://www.classicflight.com/eventsCalendar

As usual, the flights offer a scenic view of the Severn Valley, even the occasional steam train passing below!

Do call in at the Classic Flight trailer and say hello :)

Some pics from a recent (ish) event.... 2007

Fingers crossed for good weather :D
