April 28, 2008 UK classic aircraft fans are in for a treat next month as more than 70 pre-1967 planes take to the skies at the 2008 Goodwood Aero Club Vintage Fly-In and Air Display.

Dogfighting World War I Sopwith and Fokker biplanes and tri planes and the Douglas DC-6A Cloud master which recently featured in the latest Bond film - Casino Royale - will be among the highlights of the event. Visitors will have the chance to fly in an historic aircraft including Goodwood’s own lovingly-restored Harvard.

Now in its third year, the show will take place over the May Bank Holiday weekend of Sunday 25 and Monday 26 May at the Goodwood Aerodrome which is located at the former RAF Westhampnett, a key Battle of Britain airfield in West Sussex.
