Vintage Aircraft Club at Turweston

Event & Attractions
This is the main event of the year for the Vintage Aircraft Club (VAC) and it's easy to get to from Oxford.

The VAC knows that many people with an interest in machinery of one type are interested in all types so this event presents an opportunity to see all sorts in action. This ranges from stationary engines through bikes and cars to planes (of course!) There are also lots of stall holders selling all sorts of stuff.

The VAC is particularly interested to attract younger people to see and enjoy the story of how man evolved machines to accomplish many tasks. Each piece of equipment has its own place in the history of transport, industry or agriculture. All in all a very good family day out.

Turweston airfield itself is of interest. It was home to Wellingtons, Mitchells and others during World War II and today has a good selection of light aircraft and associated facilities. It also boasts two rally stages.

The type of aeroplane on view at Turweston
In 2005 we saw the Replica of the Vickers Vimy bomber. It was huge! The original was the first plane to cross the Atlantic, flown by Alcock and Brown. In 2007 we had fantastic multiple low passes by the Lancaster from the Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight.
