Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary Fun Day

Published on 2 September 2010

This year is the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and North Weald Airfield is commemorating this historic event, and the airfield’s part in it, with a special Fun Day organised by Weald Aviation in association with Epping Forest District Council on Sunday 12 September 2010.

We are expecting up to 30 aircraft on static display including Hawker Hurricanes, the Kent Spitfire, Seafire, RNHF Seahawk and visitors from the Air Atlantique Historic Flight. A selection of military vehicles will also be on view with British and German re-enactors.
