WHERE TO GO

The early months of the year have been pretty well decimated by cancellations and postponements and some of those remaining, at least in April and May, could well go the same way. However, if the Government’s Roadmap goes to plan, we can but hope that from June on, many of the dates will hold good and we can enjoy a great summer season of flying. Meanwhile, if you are planning to visit an event, please give them a call to make sure it is going ahead and ask if there are any limitations. Note that the LAA UK Tour has had to be cancelled but is replaced with an England tour in July.

The full details of these and other events can be found via links on the Royal Aero Club events listing pages at http://events.royalaeroclub. org/events.htm. Our thanks to the RAeC and to Dave Wise for the use of their data. If you have an event you want to advertise on the list, please email the details to Dave at: dave.wise@btinternet.com
