It was advertised that Flight Academy and City Airport were welcoming helicopters today for a fly-in, this was part of World Helicopter Day.
As the weather was dry, warm, sunny, although a little breezy, we decided to drive the 17 miles to see what the event would bring.
The helicopters were certainly busy with pleasures flights, so it appeared to be a great success.
