Wickenby wings and wheels

Can you recomend this show? as not been here and as seen as fathers day is looming a great excuse to take old man and my lad along.

Is traffic a nightmare in/out like waddington on A roads?

If you “Google” Wickenby Wings and Wheels it gives full details of the weekend’s flying.

Hello PP,

I’ve been to Wickenby Wings n Wheels for the last 3 years.

It’s normally a good day out with some interesting aircraft to see… I think that this year is a bit more of a formal airshow although I don’t know that for sure. There has always been some great flying at Wickenby especially with Gerald Cooper putting his aircraft through it’s paces.

To answer your question, I’m sure it will be a great weekend… If you do come down feel free to pop over and say hello… I’m by with the Flights for Life stand at the back of the green hangar!

Hope you have a nice weekend!

Thank you for replying.

Yes were off so long as the weather is dry no fun for a 3yr old if it’s wet.

And quite local i say within 100mls from home so a nice ride out.

Wickenby Wings and Wheels is a great day out, providing the wind and rain don’t gate crash this year…….

The place has a certain atmosphere anyway, and W&W brings it to life in a very old fashioned, up close and friendly way.

We’ll be there, but not running the cafe this time. Good luck and hope the crowds keep growing for the new owners.
