The Weald Aviation restoration company are currently returning to airworthiness the Royal Navy's Historic Flight Sea Fury VX281 and in their engine repair shop they are re-building a Bristol Centaurus engine. They are also restoring a Hunter and a Tempest. Other aircraft of interest in their workshops are a Strikemaster, a MiG-15 Fagot and a Westland Scout.

Our Hawker Association group will be split into four to then have their guided tour conducted by the Head of a Weald Aviation Department. Groups will be rotated so that every group visits every department; the plan is to have the 4 groups spending 30-40 minutes in each department.

The 'Wings' café will be open for refreshments.

A coach has been arranged; it will depart from Kingston Hawker Centre at 09:30 and return at 18:00.

 The only cost is the coach which is expected to be between £20 and £28 depending on the number of places booked, payable by cash or cheque, less the deposit paid.   

To book a place on the coach please ring Frank Rainsborough on 01784 247888 or 07779 953415.
