An open day is being held at the Stratford Aerodrome on Saturday, January 23. Hosted by the Stratford Aero Club Sport Flyers, the day will offer people the chance to find out more about the club, as well as what the facility offers.
Trial flights will be available on the day, says Nick Furmage, president of the Stratford Aero Club Sport Flyers. "We will also have food available or people can bring a picnic."
Nick says the event will run whatever the weather on the day and anyone who needs help with access should contact him so he could help get them to where they needed to be to best enjoy the open day.
Patron of the group Brett Emeny will be bringing some Yakovlevs (Yaks).
These aircraft are instantly recognisable as the planes used by the Red Stars aerobatics team. They have a high profile in the region and are often seen performing elaborate aerobatic manoeuvres out to sea.
