espite the undoubted success of the Covid-19 vaccine roll out, concerns remain over whether some of the events for the spring and early summer will be able to go ahead. Principal victims of the uncertainty this month is Aero-Expo, which was scheduled to take place at Kemble in June; unfortunately, it has been decided to cancel the event altogether for 2021, and the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) at Fairford has also been cancelled. A number of other dates have been re-scheduled for later in the year,
the Popham Microlight Trade Fair being of particular note; it has moved from its early May date to 14-15 August. So, please check that events are still on before setting out. 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
