Headon Fly In & Hangar Bash

Headon Fly-in and open day. Hopefully we will get a nice day and lots of Microlight activity. A chance not only to meet other microlighters but for members of the public to come along also and see what microlighting is about and possibly take a trial flight. We will be pleased to discuss any queries you might have about gaining a licence and taking part in the sport. Many different types of Microlight will be on show. Soft drinks and a Barbeque will be available.

The day will end with a hangar Bash with a licenced Bar, Steak supper and live music from Frixion. Camping is available and B&B can be organised by prior arrangement.

The day will start off around 12:00 with the fly in and the Hangar bash will be from 20:00 onwards. Tickets for the steak supper and evening will be £10.

Our nominated charity this year is the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, so come along have a good time and help us to raise some money for a good cause by making it a success.

A feast of activity with plenty to see on the European Microlight front. We plan to arrive there the day before on the Friday, take in the event on the following day, Saturday. Then fly over to the coast at La Rochelle for the Saturday evening and spend the following week all along the west coast, Brittany and the Normandy beaches. Returning home for the following Sunday.

These are just a few of the main flights planned for the year. Undoubtedly there will be many day and weekend trips organised by individual members to fly-Ins, Barbeque’s etc. Why not come and see us sometime. Either fly in or drive and meet some of our members.
