The 2006 Sywell Airshow will be a two day event, the first day being a celebration of the Chipmunk for its 60th anniversary which will consist of a fly-in on the 23rd September. The second day, on the 24th September, will be the main airshow.

Following the success of the rekindled Sywell Airshow in September 2004, The Friends of Sywell Aerodrome are proud to announce the next biannual Airshow will take place on the 24th September 2006 at Sywell Aerodrome, Northamptonshire. Further details will be released nearer the time but expect the usual 'garden party' atmosphere including a superb mix of aircraft types from modern aerobatics to pre-war civilian types with a healthy dose of warbirds in the 'mix' Watch this space!

Participating aircraft for 24th September 2006 include:

P-51D Mustang 'Susy'
Spitfire
Hurricane
Catalina
Harvard x 2
Fokker DR1 x 2
Nieuport 17
Team Condor
Brooklands Formation
Barnstormers
Utterly Butterly Wingwalkers
Chipmunk formation
Hughes 500
Flylight formation

subject to weather and serviceability on the day

The flying display will be a mixture of older and more modern aircraft contrasting the fragility of WW1 biplanes with the war-winning power of the Mustang, Spitfire and Hurricane. With approximately three hours of varied flying the Sywell Airshow 2006 will offer something for everyone! As well as the much welcomed return of P-51D 'Susy', based at Sywell for so many years, we hope to have a multiple Chipmunk flypast to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the first flight of the de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk, a trainer aircraft used to train several generations of RAF pilots and now a popular aircraft with civilian owners.

In addition to the flying display there will be aircraft on static display along with military and vintage vehicles. Trade stands will include car dealerships, model makers, garden furniture, memorabilia, fine art and books. Entertainments for children will include a flight simulator and fairground rides - the Sywell Airshow is the perfect family day out!
