WR963 is waking up for the public on 19th March and we would be delighted if you would come and join us for this now regular monthly event.
To make a saving, advanced tickets are available online, while full price tickets will still be available on the day.
After spending some of the Covid Recovery Grant as allocated. We were able to give '963 a nice 3,556 litre drink of AVGAS.
This will go a long way to keeping us running next year and maintaining our future self sustainability.

Late summer over Coventry Airport. If you squint you can see one of my favourite aircraft parked down there. The @avroshackleton. ^RE
We were thrilled to hear we have received funding thanks to the government’s #CultureRecoveryFund so that we can continue to be here for you and #HereForCulture
The result of two 32ltr V12 supercharged Rolls Royce Griffons, each at 2400 Rpm and 45 inches of boost on the port wing. Converting AVGAS to pure flame spitting growl!
With the starboard doing the same also, the ground does start to shake.
Special thanks to @thresholdaero for the event tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed by all.
