This year's Dunkeswell rally is on this coming weekend. It's being run in conjunction with the South West Airfields Heritage Trust who have organised a wide variety of historic military vehicles to be on show. The grass areas of the airfield are (not unexpectedly) waterlogged but we've done a revised ground plan to accommodate aircraft parking and all the static exhibitors, including classic cars and bikes, on the hard bits!

Arrival info is on the Devon Strut website http://www.devonstrut.co.uk

The usual Devonian hospitality awaits, including an Otter Brewery tent.

regards, Mike Mold

thanks for the efforts made by the Devon strut to put the event on. Not a bad turnout considering waterlogged strips and the general weather. I guess you didnt get many Saturday, but Sunday must have seen a good 60 or 70 visitors. We had a nice flight there and back mostly in sunshine, just a shame there were clouds covering Dunkeswell for most of the day.
Thanks to the strut for organising the hangar tours, much appreciated and nice to see some interesting hangar inmates and a few poor neglected aircraft covered in birds muck! Must be a bargain for someone there!

cheers

Nigel
