Readers' trip with "AeroRevue" to England
The first "AeroRevue" readers' trip to England will take place from June 26 - 29. With the Festival of Flight in Old Warden and several exciting airplane museums, we offer you an impressive trip.
Close to the university town of Cambridge is the Old Warden airfield, where the Shuttleworth Collection maintains one of the world's most impressive collections of flying rarities. The Festival of Flight offers the opportunity to admire these witnesses of the past in flight on the weekend of June 27-28. It is already known that the Flying Bulls from Salzburg will be present at the air show with a whole range of warbirds, including the newly acquired Grumman Bearcat. Fans can also look forward to seeing the Avro Anson from the Czech Republic, which made its European debut last year.
