Event running from August 15th to August 16th, 2014
The de Havilland Moth Club’s return to Woburn Abbey in August 2013 after an absence of six years proved a success with pilots and public alike.
The 2014 gathering over the weekend of 16/17 August offered the very ‘Best of British’ with some of the country’s top vintage aeroplanes showing off their style in a garden party environment, in addition to aircraft visiting from Norway, Germany and the Netherlands. The historic parklands of Woburn Abbey first played host to Moth Club aircraft in 1980 and evolved into an event which has become known throughout the world’s vintage aviation movement as a special and unique event. The aircraft operate from a specially prepared grass strip in the Deer Park, once part of a wartime runway onto which RAF Stirling and Lancaster bombers were flown for dispersal amongst the ancient oak trees.
