Every year the Steam & Vintage Fair takes place in West Park, Wolverhampton, with all kinds of vintage transport on display from traction engines to aircraft, including a parade of vintage vehicles around and through the City centre. StART organises the aircraft display, and this year has decided to include Turretfest. The Boulton Paul Association’s Overstrand nose/ turret will be on display, and possibly their Type E reproduction, as will StART’s own Type D turret. Anyone out there who has any kind of gun turret, restored or otherwise is invited along, for the weekend, and they will be displayed inside a marquee.
We will have our usual selection of aircraft and aircraft cockpits on display, and if anyone has anything they wish to bring along they will be more than welcome. I know that Cockpitfest is not long afterwards, so if anyone wished to bring their cockpit as far as Wolverhampton, we can arrange to store it at BPA, and for them to pick it up on the way to Newark
Camping is possible for visitors on the Friday and Saturday night, and if anyone wants to get some more details please send a PM to me
