This year the ‘Great North Fly-In’ will once again be hosted at the former Royal Air Force Station Eshott, Northumberland. The event will take place on the weekend of the 25th & 26th of June
Landing fees are free thanks to the airfields owner, Storm Smith (Purple Aviation), however this is a charity event in aid of a good cause so donations would be most welcome. Landing fees are normally around the £5.00 mark. (MOGAS & AVGAS will be available)

We will still have the beer garden with BBQ during the day and live band on the night time but we will also be including:
Not to out-do Newark Air Museum’s much acclaimed ‘Cockpit Fest’, we would still welcome as many ‘Cockpiteers’ as possible to make the event more interesting, so feel free to bring your cockpit along (please contact us before hand so that we can arrange a plot of land). This also goes to anyone who can bring along vehicles also mentioned above!

Two weeks to go, and there is alot happening. This event looks like it will be the biggest yet! Get to Eshott – by plane, car or bus and have a blast! This is NOT an airshow – it is a social event lasting right through the weekend and all in aid of charity. BBMF confirmed for the saturday, plus other special guests…..
What we need are some historic aircraft flying in… anyone got a tiger moth or two?

Pray to the Gods…
Well… The Sunday, yes. Saturday no, as the winds were gale force and prevented the Mk1 Spitfire from even turning up.
Spit, Hurricane, Yak52 and JP3A are all on the cards this year as well as possibly the local 202 Sqn SeaKing like last year. It will be interesting to see what else turns up! 😉
