HELP FOR HEROES AT COVENTRY AIRPORT
01 Sep 2010
Save to de.icio.us
Here is a great day out for you on 26 September, all
for a great cause. It’s a fly-in at Coventry Airport in aid of the Help for
Heroes armed forces personnel charity – your reduced landing fee will go
direct to the charity.
On the day there will be some major attractions including
the awesome Apache helicopter, a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast and
the opportunity to come and meet and greet LOOP’s flight test team – including
the legendary Dennis Kenyon!
Patriot Aviation and Sir Peter Rigby, the new owner of
Coventry, will be laying on entertainment where you’ll be able
to get up close to some serious military hardware, speak to the personnel who
operate it and try your hand at paintballing with the military. There's also the 'Death
Slide Experience' – something that looks best suited to Krypton Factor
contestants and kids!
The Army will be displaying transport and attack helicopters
including the Apache – no word on whether Prince Harry will be there to fly! There will also be more than 30 classic military and transport aircraft on
display by the Classic Flight Club for you to look around. These
include Britain’s first commissioned jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor, the Nimrod
and the beautiful Dragon Rapide.
APPEAL
If you’ve got an interesting type and you would like to
bring it along to show on the static display, please email . We would like to get as many of LOOP’s readers coming along to this event to support
Help for Heroes and we’re counting on you to show your support!
All the money raised at the event will be going to
improve the lives of wounded servicemen and women who are based at the Centre
for Defence Medicine based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
