The 'GREAT NORTH FLY IN', will take place at Eshott Airfield, Northumberland on the weekend of 25th/26th June 2011. The event will include Light Aircraft, Microlights, Autogyros, Paramotors and Powered Hang-gliders. Both LAA, BMAA, BGA 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 ,also to get as many flyers of whatever aircraft to attend the event, as well as other contributors 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 "THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION", "HELP FOR HEROES" and the "FUSILIER AID SOCIETY" . Last year we raised over £2,500 over the weekend.

There will be no landing fee but please make a donation of your choice to the charities when you arrive and book in at Control. Our charities are supporting our servicemen and women wounded/maimed and disfigured on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Attractions will include the following;



•Beer tent Bar and BBQ

This is a great opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful counties in England, steeped in history and with one of the most impressive coastlines boasting a multitude of castles, Holy Island and of course our very own Roman Wall. Bring your tents, stay the night and have a great time!!!
