The Sywell Aviation Museum, a charming, volunteer run organization based at Sywell Aerodrome (formerly RAF Sywell) in Northamptonshire, England will hold their grand opening for the 2023 season this coming weekend! As their announcement reveals…
This small, family friendly event has been described as a village fête with Jeeps and we agree with that! You should expect a good turnout of re-enactors and military vehicles…. and maybe some visiting aeroplanes.
This year we’re pleased to announce that thanks to Sywell Aerodrome Ltd, public car parking will be in the field over the road so hopefully we will have more space – but be prepared for the usual downpours – after last year’s glorious sunshine we’re overdue a hailstorm!
We are a SMALL local event and a cracking FREE day out – and its free! Donations are very welcome.Please note if you’d like to bring your military or classic vehicle you MUST please book in in advance PLEASE EMAIL: [email protected]
For last minute updates, please see the museum Facebook page.
Sywell Aviation Museum has a relatively rare Hawker Hunter F.2 (WN904) amongst a number of historic types on display. Their opening event on April 8th, 2023 will likely see several warbirds in attendance, including Peter Teichman’s P-51D Mustang, Tall in the Saddle. (image via Wikipedia)
