Hi there. Every year, Shoreham Airport have a fly-in of sorts, all aircraft come over from France, about 30 or more can be known to turn up.

It is well organised and they park all of the aeroplanes on the grass in the middle along side one of the taxiways, it looks pretty good!

I will find out next time I am there who sorts it all out and get back to you.

Le Touquet - Shoreham ‘The Channel Experience’


Excess Parking



As you can see the gallant leader and organiser Sylviane Regnault lead the Fly-In of 24 aircraft and 77 passengers to Shoreham Airport from Le Touquet successfully.

A few returned to France on the Saturday evening, but most stayed overnight to wine and dine in Brighton.

French-Anglophile



This annual Fly-In is now in its sixth year and is very popular with the French people. Air Traffic Control at Shoreham require them to have their own group call sign, they also file return flight plans before they leave France to enable organisation to run as smooth as possible.
