On Saturday 16th June from 6.30pm, Wickenby Aerodrome will host a ‘Fun of the 40s’ charity dinner and dance in aid of the Lincolnshire Air Ambulance and The RAF Association, which provides welfare to current and former members of the Royal Air Force and their families.

‘Fun of the 40s’ will provide a fantastic atmosphere that rivals the post-war victory parties. The authentic 1940s marquee is a great backdrop for the live swing band and disco playing songs of the 1940s, and the perfect excuse to don vintage Military uniform or tea dresses to do the Lindy Hop on the dance floor.

Ticket prices include a hot carvery buffet followed by strawberries and cream and there’s a bar serving drinks all evening. Breath-taking aerial displays will entertain with aerobatics from Gerald Cooper in the Sbach 300 and the Twister Duo whose wingtips sparkle during their sunset disply.

To book your tickets to Wickenby Wings and Wheels or our ‘Fun of the Forties’ Swing Dance visit our Air Show Website.
