POSTPONED - Engine run up - Apr 4th
Threshold Aero Dusk Run - Apr 4th

In light of the escalating situation with Coronovirus, the decision has been taken to suspend our engine run events and visitor access until further notice. This includes the Threshold Aero Dusk run event.

This is only the second time in the last decade we've missed a scheduled event; and the first through events beyond our control. This is a preventative measure as a number of our friends, visitors, veterans and team are in at risk groups.
You may have seen the light-hearted digs at the pandemic over the past few days - we hope it raised a smile, as while posting those we were actually planning for the worst, but hoping for the best. Sadly its looking like some turbulent times are ahead.
WR963 will weather this, as she always has. As soon as its over, we'll wake her.
Stay safe everyone.
