PROJECT PROPELLER

Past Meetings

North Weald hosted the opening 1999 event with everyone enjoying the ambience of a WWII airfield. Complimentary refreshments were provided - tea, coffee and bacon butties - with the mess being available for those with a taste for something stronger. All agreed that it was a great day and we should do it again.

The next year (May 2000) saw almost 100 aircraft and over 200 air crew fly into Duxford for a wonderful day, including aerial displays by both a Spitfire and a DC3.

In 2001 we returned to Duxford on 9th June, slightly increasing our numbers over the previous year.

Project Propeller 2002 arrived at Kemble on the 6th June. Dakotas, chipmunks and a DH Dove were in attendance, along with 93 visiting aircraft, 219 air crew and over 160 other supporters.

The Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington hosted Project Propeller in 2003. The museum prooved a wonderful setting for the event, accompanied the Big Band, a fly-past by the BBMF, and a talk by Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown.
