Rally HR61: Battle of Britain Airshow Rally

There are still a few places available on this rally which has the advantage of being nextdoor to the Headcorn Airfield, so you can experience the WW2 aircraft flying over the site at the weekend when their annual show is taking place.
If you are a real aircraft buff you can buy advanced tickets at https://bobairshow.co.uk/ to attend the show.
There are plenty of attractions in the area, detail of which you can find in your Rally Venues Book and Going Places (Autumn, page 78)
Les & Carole Adams would love you to join them.
