Anyone planning to visit the Tatenhill Fly-In (EGBM) on Saturday 29th July?
Looks like a very good event (free landings) - 3 x aerobatic displays (12:30, 14:15. 15:00), including a display by the 'Big Bear' (Antonov AN2) and two in a Yak-52.
I see you can also have a go in a helicopter (for those who still have to experience this) and that they are running aero experiences in a Pitts throughout the day.
They have also opened the grass runway (26-08 unlicensed) for the day to encourage PFA aircraft to attend. This runway has been closed for quite some time.
Lots of classic cars on display, cafe on site plus burger van and ice cream van!
Also a chance to take part in the Scalextric Grand Prix Challenge!
Got to be worth a visit - this was the airfield that recently failed in their planning application so they are looking for lots of support from friendly pilots.
Details on their website: www.esfc.org.uk
Hope to see you there!
