Hi all,
I am a new member so apologies if this is the wrong place to post this.
I have recently been doing a bit if research on the old aerodrome at Joyce Green.
This airfield celebrates it's centenary this year. The first flight having taken
Place in July 1911 before it eventually closed in 1919.
Could anyone let me know if it is possible/realistic to try and arrange for a ww1 or earlier aircraft to perform a flypast to celebrate this centenary.
I think it would be great to arrange something. if anyone has any contacts with suitable aircraft that would be really great.
Joyce Green was temporarily home to some notable ww1 aces including Mccudden and Mannock. The airfield was also the home of Vickers and sons who test flew most of their early designs here including the gunbus.
Thanks in advance
Gerry
