Another of my favorite airfields Graham, have not been for a couple of years, hopefully now it's open again will make the effort- great pictures as well- thanks for sharing-cheers me up on a very bleak Wednesday morning up here in Runcorn.

Happy Days

Lovely photos on what looks like a grand day, thanks for posting them Graham

Thanks for this. Think I’ve only been to Sleap twice, but am planning on going in a month or so, before the Midlands Air Festival.
I see a couple of your shots are in a hangar- what is access like at the airfield these days?
Thanks
Phil

The photo's in the hangar are from the Vintage Jets hangar which is usually open on Sunday. The rest of the hangars are off limits, I am local and don't get round them. The Vintage Jets Group Hangar is the first on the right by the tower.

Thanks for that. If the weather is good I’m hoping to visit Sleap (plus Shawbury, Wolverhampton and Birmingham) 5 weeks tomorrow! Will be nice to finally get out and about properly!
Cheers
Phil
