Alternatives are being investigated and updates will appear on here and WhatsApp/email if successful. There will not be a meeting at BAWA now until September as we enter our summer break.

Strut Fly In Cancelled – Third Time Unlucky!

We have for the third time had to reluctantly cancel our Oaksey Park fly-in scheduled for Saturday 20th September 2025
 
The forecast shows a significant band of rain running SW to NE which will reach Oaksey at some point during the day. It is likely to impact both  arrivals and departures – so we’ve decided that it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Meet our LAA Chief Inspector – 4th March 2025

Our guest speaker this month is the LAA’s Chief Inspector, Lucy Wootton, joining us to talk through all matters pertaining to engineering and operating permit aircraft within the LAA.

Lucy will be talking us through her journey to the Chief Inspector’s post, as well as the way in which the different departments of the LAA work together.

This will clearly be of interest to all owners/operators of aircraft operating on permits – as well as those who might have thought about buying (or building!) a permit aircraft, but are unsure what it involves.
