The sound of piston engines filled the air at Coventry Airfield, Warwickshire, UK, the week-end of the 31st May, 1st June. It was one of the few rare airshows that give the possibility to see the beautiful propliners of the forties and fifties in the air together with a nice selection of early jets.
The main organiser of the airshow is Mike Collett, Chairman of the Air Atlantique Group. He together with his team organised an excellent show with rare sights on the ground and in the air.
Where? Coventry - UK
When? 31/06/2003
The highlight on the ground was the Shackleton WL790/N790WL who performed engine test runs on both days and gave the visitors the possibility to ‘feel’ the sound of its 4 Griffon engines. Being currently under restoration it was even planned to fly that week-end, but unfortunately the first flight had to be postponed until later on that or next year.
