Calling all aviation fans - or even, complete strangers to aviation!

Our Late Summer Fly-in is a perfect chance to catch a peak at the aircraft that fly throughout our area, all the time raising vital funds for our museum.

As you enjoy your visit to our site, strolling around the galleries and exhibitions, aircraft will be landing and parking up with metres of you on our flight line.

While there will be no aerial displays, this a great chance to see our museum at its best - with aircraft rolling down the strips.
