Wings and Wheels changes date for 2019 show

For its 15th show Wings and Wheels will be held two months earlier, taking place on June 15 and 16 instead of its normal spot across the August bank holiday weekend.

The decision to change the date was made following the announcement that the Red Arrows would be on tour in North America throughout August and September.

However, the location for the two day family event will remain the same, at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Cranleigh.

Jamie McAllister, events director for Wings and Wheels, said: "We’ve thought carefully about changing the date of Wings and Wheels to ensure that we are able to continue to put on the very best show for visitors.

"We had to consider a number of things, including what exhibitors and air displays would be available in August versus June, and have concluded that a return to the show’s roots in June is a positive step for the airshow."

 

 

Famous favourites will return to the air and on the ground, plus there will be attractions and zones in the arena to keep visitors of all ages entertained.

The 2019 line up has not been announced yet, but the festival has previously featured the Red Arrows, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Lancaster, Spitfires), Chinook, Hurricane, the Tigers Parachute Display Team, The Blades, Jet Provost, Hurricane and Strikemaster.

On the ground, the event would not be complete without a close-up inspection of all the weekend’s visiting aircraft including Dunsfold’s resident Boeing 747 in the Wings Park and Aces High DC3, all open for tours.
