Following the success of last years event the 'GREAT NORTH FLY IN', will take place at Eshott Airfield, Northumberland on the weekend of 25th/26th June 2011.
The event will include Microlights, Light Aircraft, Autogyros, Paramotors and Powered Hang-gliders. Both LAA and BMAA are most welcome.
The event is designed to appeal to everyone who has an interest in aviation.
The concept is to meet the needs of all aviators hopefully getting bigger and better this year, flyers of whatever aircraft most welcome to attend the event, and to have a lot of fun.
We hope to have a variety of interesting aircraft large and small
All profits will go to the "HELP FOR HEROES" charity. Last year we raised over
£2,000 on the day for this well deserving charity.
