On Thursday 16th September the children and their parents, grandparents and carers went to visit Nayland Airfield.
We met Will and Rachel Hitchcock and Will showed us his 1946 Aeronca Champion. He then took off and flew a great circle around the valley waggling the Plane’s wings to wave at us, before landing to the clapping and cheers of the children! Each child had the opportunity to sit in the cockpit and try on the pilot’s ear protectors. We were able to go and look at the seven other planes in the hanger; it was very exciting to see the planes close up.
Our thanks go to Will and Rachel Hitchcock and Tony at the airfield and to Jules Wormington for being our official photographer.
