Coventry is home to that beautiful privately-owned Canberra WK163.

Culdrose is open to the public by car for their annual Air Day which is around the third Wednesday of July.

This is the Grumman F8F Bearcat based at Duxford with The Fighter Collection.

Thought you might like this photo of the Needles, taken from one of Sandown flying clubs PA28's.

Duxford is home to the Imperial War Museum and houses the finest collection of flying and static warbirds in Europe, if not the world.

The landing fee is slightly above average because it does include the entrance to this enormous museum.

It has several airshows each year, of which, Flying Legends in July is the finest warbird airshow in the world.

As a Bournemouth based GA pilot ( 7th share in PA 28 Arrow G-AWBC ) I have nothing but praise for the ATC there..... they are ALWAYS helpful..... cheery..... and a joy to hear their familiar voices when returning from a "land away ". I take great offence at some of statements that I have just read.... if you, as a visiting pilot offer them professional RT, they will bend over backwards to assist..... EGHH is the only place for me, there are far smaller and much snootier places to visit...ie: Denham..... one and only visit , sorry Denham ... never again!

This is my base and a fabulous part of the country. I landed here for fuel in June 2000 in a Luscombe. In November 2000 I had moved from Hampshire and now keep two aircraft based here at Eggesford in Mid Devon!
