I'm pretty sure there is no more Families day at Lyneham. It was made pretty clear by everyone i met who works there that last years was the final one and now attention turns to running the base down. I would very happily stand corrected though!!

News from someone on UKAR that as far as they know of RAF Cottesmore families day will be in September this year. Will keep you updated on that one. So i have changed the dates to Wittering being the 23rd July this year as romeo bravo stated above.

Thaks, Cottesmore09
