1 DEC 06: FLY! SILVERSTONE

FLY! The London Air Show is to move to Silverstone motor racing circuit and airfield for 2007. The show's date has also been moved to 13-15 July, the week following the British F1 Grand Prix.

Silverstone is no longer used as a regular fixed-wing airfield - although it was built as such during WWII - but still has a hard runway with full markings. This will be in use during the show allowing exhibitor and public aircraft to be flown in - a major problem for FLY!'s original venue at Earl's Court, London.

Many new exciting changes are planned to the show's format to ensure its position as the UK's top annual General Aviation event.

Show Director, Simon Coe told LOOP, "Silverstone regularly produces events of outstanding quality and this date allows us to deliver an event with the excellent standards that FLY! is famous for. We will have carpeted, air-conditioned exhibition space overlooking the runway." It's also possible FLY! could host an air display as well.

Richard Phillips, Managing Director of Silverstone Circuits added; "I am delighted that Silverstone is working with the Clarion team to host FLY! and welcome this new and exciting addition to our 2007 calendar."

FLY! Marketing Manager Sean Curtis said, "One of the major strengths of FLY! is its ability to deliver a new audience to General Aviation - people interested in buying aircraft, learning to fly or looking for careers in the industry."
