This is the second combined fly-in between the British Flyer List and the French Pilotlist, and the first on British soil. The venue is Duxford, our premier aviation museum.

The fly-in is dedicated to the memory of Air Vice-Marshal Johnnie Johnson, the RAF's highest-scoring WW2 fighter ace, who died on January 30 aged 85.

On Saturday afternoon there will be time to wander around the main museum.
