We are at different venues at the same celebration Ritch, so we may not even see each other. However, I’m sure that you with WZ869 at Cranwell and us with XS186 at Metheringham, we will both help to make the weekend a successful one!

XS186 at her noisy best, if she behaves, there are two taxy runs planned each day, as well as:

Ian Whittle giving a FREE lecture at 10.30am on the Saturday

Nigel Mcknight (UK challenger for world water speed record) giving a FREE lecture at 10.30am on the Sunday

A Gazelle helicopter visiting on both days

A jet powered car displaying on the Sunday

Static jet engines on display both days

Many other smaller displays and activities, and a chance to win a taxy ride in XS186!

At least five, possibly more cockpits on display all weekend

As the only (joint) organisations to have a celebration of one of the UK’s most significant anniversary’s, why not come along to see us at this FREE ADMISSION event.
