🛩️ The Wings Section
Enjoy a rare opportunity as the airfield apron is fenced off from the airport, granting the public full airside access to the hangar and apron area.
Featured aircraft include kit-built (Eurofox), home-built (Van’s RV-7), a variety of general aviation aircraft of varying ages (including the 60-year-old Beagle Pup prototype), a Bell 505X helicopter, and a corporate aircraft. Some aircraft will have pilot/owners with them to talk to and sit in the aircraft.
There will also be the Channel Island Air Search Islander with crews, and the popular JUNIOR JOEY. Guernsey Flying Training Ltd will be present with their Piper Warrior, flight instructors, and an interactive Flight Simulator to view.
🛠️ In the Hangar & Club Building
- The Guernsey Model Club: Presenting a variety of model aircraft, active taxiing demonstrations on the apron, a planned drone flying zone, and professional-class model aircraft painting masterclasses.
