D-Day Celebration

To commemorate the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day on the 6th June 1944, in collaboration with Aero Legends, there will be a special day at Lore of the Sky. The sun will shine, the engines will roar and history will come alive. On the day highlights include vintage visitors flying in, including a few from HAAF Historic Army Aircraft Flight. Please visit their stand raising money for Military Veterans! An array of invited military vehicles will decorate our paddock with their owners dressed to commemorate the day. You can expect to see Tiger Moth bi-planes, Spitfires (Elizabeth and Lady Luck), North American T6G Harvard, Chipmunks, Beaver and Auster, to name but a few. Land Girls and Boys will be bringing the retro vibe alive on D-Day, as our own Lore of the Sky team will be given the opportunity to join in and dress up for the vintage festivities. The RAF Cadets will be lending a hand as event day hosts – they'll be able to tell you about the aircraft, point you in all the right directions and be a friendly face to help out with lost children or finding the way to the first aid base or nearest loos. Delicious food and drinks will be available all day courtesy of Lore of the Sky. Bunting will be hoisted high and Lore of the Sky, The Smoking Barrels and the Horsebox Bar will all be open. Pop up pick and mix sweets will be visiting on the day, for all your rhubarb & custard or sugar barley requirements. Blending nostalgia with the Great British spirit, afternoon cream teas, summer picnic boxes and feast hampers will be available. Washing it all down with lashings of ginger beer, of course.
