Help for Heroes charity fly in announced
09.08.10
Iconic aircraft - both Military and Civilian - will fly in to Coventry Airport on September 26 in a bid to raise funds for Britain's wounded servicemen and women. The ‘Fly In’ will offer the opportunity to get up close and personal with pilots, aircrew and a range of military and civilian aircraft in a bid to raise urgently needed funds.
In what promises to be a fantastic day out, the airport will see the famous Battle of Britain Memorial Flight fly past in support of the wounded heroes. Sir Peter Rigby, Chairman of Patriot Aerospace, owner of Coventry Airport, said: ‘We owe our servicemen and women a debt of honour and gratitude. These people risk their lives every day on our behalf, and we believe that the least we can do is ensure they are given the very best available care after being wounded in action.'
‘I'm delighted that the aviation industry is giving its full support to what is certain to be a great day out in aid of a fantastic cause. We'll be putting on a range of entertainment and displays - something for everybody. Please put the date in your diary and get ready to have some fun.’
Organised in support of Help for Heroes’, the funds raised will go to improving the lives of wounded servicemen and women who are treated at the Centre for Defence Medicine based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
The Fly in is being staged in partnership with the Armed Forces, the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, Coventry City Council, CV One, Loop, Classic Flight Club and Heliflight. For more information about the event please visit: www.flyincoventryairport.com.
