Clarification: LAA Rally
To set the record straight, we communicated as follows to the aviation press:
Friday 5th - LAA Regional Rally
Saturday 6th - Heart of Scotland Airshow
Sunday 7th - Education Day
We hoped LAAers would fly in for the weekend, and participate on the Sunday as well (and indeed several did), but we made no claim that Saturday or Sunday were "LAA" days. We, the Scottish Aero Club and visiting pilots, managed to fly no less than 130 youngsters on Sunday, including 80 cadets, 40 scouts, and 10 kids from Edinburgh Sick Children's hospital.
Please accept my apology if communication of the 3 days was not clear. Unfortunately, I cannot influence how the aviation press described our events - even the LAA!
