Hello
I am a choreographer and am creating a show about flight in early 2013. It celebrates the early aviators and includes film and photography footage of Charles Kingsford Smith, Charles Ulm and Amy Johnson. I have collaborated with the National Film and Sound Archive and also the National Library.
I wondered if you are running your air show next year and if so if you might have a venue – aircraft hanger – that we could present the dance performance if you think you might be interested.
all best wishes and I do hope to hear from you

I will be visiting from the UK in 2013 and I wondered what date WOI would take place so that I can ensure that my trip coincides so that I can attend.
Thanks Chas
Wings 2013 will be Sunday 5 May 2013.

Hi Wayne
Thanks for your comment. Wings 2013 is being planned now for 5 May 2013 and will be bigger and better than ever. Our static F111 should be here in time to let the public see it up close on the ground, and our 2 Caribous will be there.
Kind regards
