Had a brilliant day at Barton today with near to 50 other Volvo owners....gone are the days of restrictions, queues and horrendous near misses. Back to the small enthusiasts meets with £3 entry going to charity.

Looking forward to the next one in June.

Exciting addition to the Wings & Wheels Meet at Barton on Sunday 12th June....Lancashire Aero Club will be there celebrating their 100th Anniversary.

Their Celebrations include:
  • Visiting Aircraft
  • Static Display of Vintage & General Aviation Aircraft
  • Airside Tours (Book on the Day)
  • Exhibits from the Woodford Heritage Museum such as the Famous Bouncing Bomb, Green Goddess & Rare Engines.

Not to forget a Fly-Past by the famous Avro Anson and Bucker Jungmann Biplanes.

Also guest club cars from the SAAB Owners Club GB to give the day a proper Swedish theme.

Hope to see folk there.

The event is hosted by Volvo Owner's Mcr & Volvo Knutz....I do my best to help promote these meets on their behalf, I'm not asked to do so, I simply do it to promote a cracking day out which raises a bucketful of cash for charity...much more than just the same 3-4 cars parked in a car park which seems to be the norm for other group events.
