Wickenby Wings and Wheels 2009:
The 20th & 21st June 2009 saw Wickenby Airfield abuzz with activities and visiting aircraft and members of the public. The airfield played host to aircraft of all shapes and sizes from around the UK, vintage vehicles (including motorbikes, cars, tractors and steam) the Landrover Club and tank rides. Also there was a 1940s re-enactor meet, children's attractions, trade stands and food from the 'Flying Fox Bistro', hog roast and strawberries and icecream. Over £3000 was raised for the 'Flights for Life' charity by the raffle and auction of promises during our Saturday night hangar concert, and everyone had a great time! "I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for a wonderful day. My son had a trip in a 2 seated plane, he had a land rover ride and also a tank ride too, aswell as looking around the stalls, having a go at the games and watching the planes take off and land. He came home and told his Dad that he had to best day ever! So thank you very very much for a great day and we are looking forward to next years event."
