G-AMSV Returns to Coventry
An old friend returned to Coventry yesterday when G-AMSV, in her striking Indian Air force livery, landed here for extensive maintenance by our engineers. Sierra Victor was part of the Air Altantique fleet here for many years. She'll...
Baginton Air Pageant
The initial details for the Baginton Air Pageant are up on the website! As we don't have the space for a full-on air show attracting 20,000 or so people, we're aiming for low-key, themed days like this. A couple of thousand people,...
Newquay Pleasure flights

Aerojumble at Classic Air Force Airbase: 28th June 2015
What better way to waste the longest day of the year than spending it among an array of vintage aviation, exploring mounds of... bits of vintage aviation?
Aerojumble is a pretty loose term - we won't turn you away if you want to sell your collection of flood-damaged crisp packets from the golden era of snackage (14th October 1968 to 3:12pm on the 11th May 1973 according to most authorities). We can't guarantee that people won't point at you, but we won't turn you away. Promise.
More than anything, the day should be fun. If you find something fabulous, then that's a bonus.
| Date: | 28th June 2015 |
| Opening Times: | 11:00am to 5:00pm |
| Admission Price: | £5 |
Celebrity Visitor
Overshadowing everything - literally - will be the vast bat-wings of Vulcan XH558 making her visit to the Vulcan airframe at our neighbouring Midland Air Museum. Expect to see her between 1:15 and 1:30.
Our Meteor NF11 will be on the move on Sunday too as part of her busy airshow schedule this year. If the timings fit together, then we'll try to put the Meteor up as the Vulcan comes over, to give you a unique photo opportunity. No promises on this - a lot of things have to come together for it to work out - but regard it as a bonus to seeing two Cold War icons in flight - spectacular even if they're not together.
As you're almost certainly aware, this will be XH558's final year of flight, so this could be your last opportunity to see this magnificent bird in the air.
