Re: Cold War Jets, 28th May 2017
100% cancelled as of today, some of the groups will be running smaller events instead.
It's simply due to the level of activity from the onsite businesses.
For instance we at the Buccaneer Aviation Group are in the latter stages of planning for an event in September to be announced soon.
