de Havilland Anniversary Fly-In

Enter the aviation revolution…

Over a century ago, grassroots aviation was changed forever by the innovation of the de Havilland Aircraft Company, and 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of one of their most beloved, enduring aircraft: the Chipmunk.

Compton Abbas is home to a number of Chipmunks and other de Havilland classics, including the Tiger Moth and Gipsy Moth, and welcomes many more!

To celebrate this anniversary weekend, any visiting de Havilland aircraft are treated to a free landing fee, as we celebrate the rich history of aviation. PPR as normal, on 01747 811767.

Please Note: the de Havilland Weekend Fly-In is not an Airshow or Flying Display.

For those coming by road, be advised that this Fly-In is weather dependent. There is no booking required or parking charge in operation. All updates will be made to this page.
