Abingdon Fayre 2004

[Neil Porter]

I have already posted this in an earlier thread titled "Anyone flying in Oxfordshire" by chinchilla.612 at 612 VGS, Abingdon - but my 5th annual "ABINGDON FAYRE" charity event, a mini airshow / country fayre style event will be taking place once again on Sun 2 May 2004.

The Static / Flying Displays will again contain Vintage, aerobatic, Military participation, Privately owned ex Military Jets..

This is normally the only time aircraft are allowed to land here, we do have a limited number of slots available (80 - 90 types to include aerobatic, ex Military) and although no fuel is available, you don't have to pay a landing fee!!!
One thing i stipulate is if you can, to depart after the flying display has finished as many people like to see the mass of departures after the show!

Anyone interested in flying into Abingdon on the 2 May for the above, it is strictly PPR from me.
Please send details of your aircraft type & reg, & your home address etc etc to:
[email protected]

Airfield briefing sheets will be sent to you in March 2004 onwards but don't leave it too long to book in otherwise you won't get in!

Please also log on to our website, which will undergo a revamp shortly on:
www.abingdonfayre.latest-info.com

Keep checking the site regulary especially in the New Year as details will start to be added..

Abingdon is still used by RAF 612 VGS at weekends for motorglider training, & RAF Merlins, Pumas & AAC Apache Helicopters during the week at times for training if you did not know already!

...and anyone flying in from anywhere in/near Northants, myself and Mrs_DamienB could do with an airborne lift... I can navigate, hold the stick, or take piccies of you doing your Top Gun bit - your choice :E

Now that is going to be a difficult one, 5 minutes down the road to my Local airshow or 1hr30 to my favourite place.

I shall ponder over a good vintage Scotch at Christmas and make my decision.
