FLY UK (see http://deepfreeze.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/fly-uk/) are to finish their Microlight Competition at Eshott arriving for GNFI 2011.  75 aircraft have registered to take part but from past experience not all will finish due to engine problemsand other issues  but especially weather!

 The Whirlwind Fighter Project which is based near Ripon in Yorkshire will be attanding GNFI at Eshott for the first time. You can see their project at   http://www.whirlwindfighterproject.org/

Simon Johnson will be making an appearance at Eshott in his Yugoslavian Soko Kraguj Ground Attack Aircraft which was restored in Northumberland by Nick Stone of Morpeth

The Royal Air Force have kindly agreed to send a Spitfire and a Hurricane from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight to attend GNFI. We have specifically asked for the same Spitfire in their possession  which was based at Eshott in 1943. Eshott was the home of 57 OTU RAF during the war with many pilots all all nationalities training there. This will be the first time in 66 years that a Spitfire has been seen at Eshott.
