2023 Air Shows & Events

Whilst our team are incredibly busy throughout the year and even more so during the traditional ‘flying season’, both at our home base of Duxford and across the country.  Our aim is to share our fleet of aircraft, the stories of those that flew them, and meet likeminded individuals wherever we can.

Below, we have compiled a list of events where we intend to be present, but with this is a polite reminder that aircraft attendance is subject to serviceability, weather conditions and crew attendance is subject to availability.

We look forward to seeing you soon…
