Our 2018 event was held over the weekend of 30-June – I July and we would like to thank all those pilots, exhibitors and visitors who attended over a very warm weekend at North Weald. The tricky cross wind and hot weather impacted on the number of aircraft attending but we still attracted a varied selection of historical and modern aircraft for visitors to see. Below is a small selection of images from the weekend.
Air-Britain has been holding its Fly-In at North Weald for the last 18 years and after some soul searching has decided it is time to move on. We would like to express thanks to our hosts, The Squadron/North Weald Flying Services, without whose help our event could not have taken place the airfield Ops team from Epping Forest District Council and to all the operators and pilots at North Weald for their help, patience and co-operation.
