It's official, the new home of Flying Legends will be Sywell! This is fantastic news, something we all need right now and I'm glad it's staying in the UK. SATURDAY 10th and SUNDAY 11th July

Northamptonshire Dave, an hour to the West of Duxford and closer to you! http://www.sywellaerodrome.co.uk/ https://goo.gl/maps/b2wzdrcRHWaasvDZ7 It's also home of the Grace Spitfire / Ultimate Warbirds / Air Leasing and a number of other operators. Could get busy round those lanes though from what I've heard, they'll probably have to limit the numbers considerably compared to DX.
