The Twilight Runway Challenge is an iconic, unique fundraising event organised by The Community Matters Partnership that takes place annually at Blackbushe Airport, this year's is on Saturday 20th September. We'll be there on the night and if you want to compete run, walk, cycle, scoot or skateboard your way around a 3km, 5km or 10km route on our behalf, you can find entry details on the event website here at https://www.twilightchallenge.co.uk/

We will also have our sales table setup and Spin the Wheel on the night.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We’re very pleased to have Robert coming to talk to us - it’s definitely one that shouldn’t be missed!

He flew as a pilot (fixed wing and rotary) in the Royal Air Force for 36 years, on types including the Vampire, Vulcan, Wessex, Puma and Chinook - the later as a Test Pilot which led to him being heavily involved in the campaign to clear the names of the pilots involved in the “Mull of Kintyre” accident involving Chinook ZD576 in 1994.

If that wasn’t enough, at various times in his life Robert has been a circus fire eater, motorbike racer and, after retirement from flying a polo trainer, on occasions to the rich and famous!

You can get your tickets at £10pp for what should be a very interesting evening here, or on the door on the night. We hope to see you there!

On Sunday 16th November we will be back on the road to the Heathrow Aircraft Enthusiasts Fair which is taking place at Kempton Park Racecourse from 10:30am to 3pm.

We will have a range of diecast aircraft models, our very own BHT merchandise, aviation memorabilia and lots more for sale.

Adult admission £4.50

Children £2 (under 5’s free)

We look forward to seeing you there!

We hope you can join us for what should be a special evening! An opportunity not only for our volunteers to get-together to celebrate our achievements during the past year, but also to hear a talk from one of a now very small number of surviving World War 2 pilots…..

Colin not only flew the Mosquito on operations in WW2, with 608 (Pathfinder) Sqn, based at Downham Market (carrying out 50 raids over Germany), he ended his full-time RAF service in 1946 flying diplomatic mail around Europe and Africa from Blackbushe! This included landings using the airfield’s well-known “FIDO” (fog dispersal) system on 3 occasions.

We expect this event to be popular, and will have the use of Aerobility’s hangar to accommodate a larger gathering for the talk. You can reserve your tickets, at £10pp here and hope you’ll be able to join us!
