Old Sarum Flying Club open day

Old Sarum Airfield

On Sunday 3rd September 2006, Old Sarum Flying Club will be holding an open day.

Old Sarum Airfield is the UK’s 2nd oldest operational airfield, opened in 1917. You can wander around looking at planes, and even get airborne on a first-come-first-served basis. There will be aerobatics, a loop-the-loop, and a rather British activity - flour bombing.
