Event in Kent

Post by dodger »

Some of you may be interested. Could be a good day out.


Dear Classic Car owner,

On the 17th and 18th of September we are running an event to celebrate the Battle of Britain and invite you to bring along your Battle of Britain era classic vehicle. On the day there will be an original Spitfire operating alongside a vintage de Havilland Dove. You're more than welcome park up in the main show field next to the runway at Headcorn Aerodrome and watch the action.

Attached is a photo of the Dove and Spitfire that will be flying on the day.

All experiences including Flights and Ground Experiences will take place at Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent (one location). The Aerodrome has great facilities that include the Wings Bar - where you can book a table for lunch by calling Stacey on 01622 891558 and quoting this event. (Please ensure table bookings don't clash with experience times). Headcorn Aerodrome also has a large flat field which runs right alongside the runway, perfect for parking your car and setting up camp for a picnic. This car park is right next to the runway, so it's a great place to watch the flying action for you and your family/friends.

Headcorn Aerodrome
Address - Headcorn Aerodrome, Headcorn, Ashford, Kent, TN27 9HX

Lashenden (Headcorn) Aerodrome - is located in the heart of Kent, allowing our passengers to travel through the same airspace in which the Battle of Britain was fought so furiously 75 years previously. RAF Lashenden became a prototype for the temporary Advanced Landing Ground airfields that were built in France after D-Day, when the need for advanced landing fields became urgent as the Allied forces moved east across France and Germany. On 13th April 1944 the airfield was taken over by the 100th Fighter Wing, 19th Tactical Air Command, 9th Air Force using Shenley House as its headquarters. On 17th April, 354th (Pioneer Mustang) Fighter Group comprising 353rd, 355th and 356th Fighter Squadrons arrived, operating the North American P51D Mustang.

If you're looking for a location to head to when giving your pride and joy a run out, then please come on down! All are welcome.

Kind Regards
Elliot Styles
