WHERE TO GO

As the fly-in season draws to a close, let’s hope for an Indian summer so that we can enjoy as much flying as we can before winter sets in. I have also included as many 2022 dates as we know of so that you can start filling your 2022 flying diaries with the events that light your particular fire. Having had the best part of two years’ events cancelled, like everybody else I’m desperately hoping for better outcomes next season. Our thanks go to the Royal Aero Club for the use of their events data, see http://events.royalaeroclub.org/eventeu.htm for more events and links to additional information. Thanks also to David Wise who collates the list. If you are planning an event, please contact Dave at dave.wise@btinternet.com and he will add the details to the listings.
