The Guernsey Aero Club will be holding its annual Wings and Wheels Open Day on Sunday 1 September 2024.
This will be open to the public from 10:00 until 16:30.
Sponsored by Trident Trust Marine Services, the event is designed for families, giving opportunities not formally available to them. It has proved very popular in previous years.
Car parking at £1 per car will be at the Forest and Le Rondin schools only a short walk away.
Entry to the event is only £1 per person.
In the 'Wheels' section in the car parks will be a large number of of unusual super cars, vintage and classic cars, rally cars and a racing car, military vehicles, tractors, and a large selection of motor bikes to view.
Little Pickles will also be present.
It also provides an unusual opportunity for airside access to the hangar and apron to view a variety of aircraft:
We hope to have 'pop-up' busking music in the car park and on the apron.
In the Aero Club building there will be aircraft and airport model displays on the ground floor with a photo recognition competition.
We hope to have a face painter to be present for part of the day.
Refreshments will be available in and around the Aero Club including teas, coffees, and a huge selection of cakes. Morning bacon rolls and the popular lunchtime barbecue too. Ice-creams will also be available all day from the car park.
The first floor Club Room and balcony provides excellent views across and down the length of the runway and taxiways where many aircraft movements can be enjoyed.
On the day there will also be a raffle with some special prizes to be won.
