What Happens

We will again light as many aircraft as we can 


There is not a cafe at SYAM, just a coffee machine in the shop.


Please note that aircraft participation is subject to operational requirements, weather and serviceability of equipment.


We also reserve the right to cancel the event due to inclement weather (However this is extremely unlikely). If a cancellation due to the weather is deemed necessary, you will receive an email the evening before.

Where we have announced engine runs, please bring your own ear protection, we may have limited munbers of foam plugs we can give out but this can't be guaranteed.


Please bring your own torch/head torch to help you see in the dark areas especially on grass.


We recommend the use of tripod leg lights or illuminous bands, these help when moving position, so as not to knock over any equipment.
