Event celebrates restoration of vintage aircraft
Over the last 15 months, the team at the airfield have been restoring a vintage ex-RAF plane called a Chipmunk. The plane left the service of the RAF in 1996.
To mark the completion of the work, a ‘Fish and Chipmunk Fly-In’ was organised for Saturday.

Throughout the day, fish and chips were available to keep any chills away.
The team are hoping to take delivery of two more vintage planes in the coming months to add to their collection.
