D-DAY 70TH COMMEMORATIONS AT OLDFIELD

We are planning to join in the commemoration of the D-Day landings by having an informal get-together with all our models of aircraft that would have been flying operationally at that time. ID stripes are optional!

So the dates are Thursday 6th June, and the weekend 8/9th June. Please assemble for 10am and whatever the weather, have a group photo. If flying is possible, no combat!!

Final dates/times on the 5th for the 6th and the 7th for the weekend
