Register now for the 32nd Annual Alderney Fly-In – It’s all happening the weekend of 05-07 September 2025
Despite a band of heavy rain, with embedded thunderstorms, stretching across the Southern England caused many pilots to abandon their plans to attend last year’s Fly-in, the Advance Registration Forms for this year’s event are flying in for what we hope is going to be a great event.
Despite the weather in the UK putting off a significant number of pilots, those that made it to Alderney last year were of the opinion that it was well worth the effort, with the Gala dinner being voted the best one yet.
The programme for this year’s Fly-in is similar to last year with the emphasis on letting you decide what you want to do and when you want to do it. As and when you arrive, we will be waiting to transport you and your guests to the Blonde Hedgehog, a boutique hotel, where our Welcome team will be waiting with a cup of your favourite coffee, ready to meet and greet you all.
If you intend to join us for this year’s event, please let us have a few details by completing our Advance Registration Form, so we can get an early idea of numbers:
