Rlangham Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 On 21st June there will be a mass fly-in of Austers to Middle Wallop - to date, there are 73 Auster's booked in, and there is unlimited space for more if any other Austerers out there are interested. Last I heard, the largest fly-in of Austers before totalled 46 of the type so even if there are a number of non shows, then this should be the largest gathering of Auster fly-ins ever. The reason for the fly-in is to coincide with a 656 Squadron reunion and we're hoping to get as many veterans airborne as possible. According to the Museum of Army Flying website, there will also be military vehicles on display. I'm very much looking forward to this weekend as part of Auster Force, and it looks like we'll have a very good turn out from the public to celebrate that wonderful aircraft, the Auster, which of course served in most theatres in WW2, and there will be at least several WW2 Auster's at the fly-in. I believe there will be some re-enactors and military vehicles booked in for the event, anyone know who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
