Classic Flight are planning to display 6 of it’s aircraft in the air – Anson, Proctor, JP5, Meteor NF.11, Vampire and Dove. The Dove is also one of 4 aircraft doing pleasure flights – the others Rapide (G-AIDL), Prentice and Chipmunk.

The Shackleton will be engine running and there will also be an Alvis Leonides and a Bristol Hercules running. A Venom cockpit arrived today to participate.

Car Parking is via the Rugby field off Rowley Road that is on the north side of the airport – the west entrance (Baginton village) is meant for pre-paid visitors, disabled visitors and airport tenants and their visitors.

Be aware of massive roadworks going on at the north east corner of the airport (end of Rowley Road) that might cause delays.

See you there? Roger Smith.

PS careful if using satnav – putting in the postcode CV8 3AZ I believe might take you to the village of Stoneleigh. Lovely though it might be it’s a couple of miles down country lanes away from Coventry Airport!
