Vintage Aircraft Club Fly In Season Starts This Weekend

VINTAGE AIRCRAFT CLUB FLY IN SEASON STARTS THIS WEEKEND

A quick reminder (if the traditional dodgy weather forecast hasn’t already dropped a hint!) that the first VAC fly in of the year takes place this Saturday.

Don’t let the forecast high winds put you off. Whether visiting by air or road, there will be an equally warm welcome in Sywell’s Pilots Mess. Park by the museum and we will arrange that someone is manning the access gate to allow members to get airside.

Past the control tower, the “Biggles Biplane” hangar will be open for inspection of the BE-2c replica, Fokker Triplane and other vintage types under restoration, while adjacent hangars may be opened too, allowing a close look at rare aircraft such as Miles Messenger G-AKIN, which has been based continuously at Sywell since new!

Visitors by air will of course receive reduced landing fees on submission of a VAC membership card.

Further dates for your vintage diary are:

Sunday12 February Valentine Rally, Old Sarum
Saturday 10 March VAC Annual Dinner. Littlebury Hotel, Bicester
Sunday 25 March Spring Meeting, Turweston
Saturday14 April Daffodil Rally, Fenland
