    RAF Shawbury kindly shared advance notification of the events that RAF Shawbury is planning throughout the remainder of this year from Group Captain Wadlow. We are sharing the information below. RAF Shawbury information: Some of these events will take place on the airfield and will involve air display activity. I would like to reassure you that we will endeavour to minimise any disturbance to the local community, and I wanted to also provide advance notification to local livestock owners and livery stables. 19 May: Landowner and Rider Awareness Day – Falcons Parachute Display Team will display early afternoon. 8-13 June: Support to the Cosford Air Show. We are awaiting details but understand that some fast jet display traffic and support aircraft could base themselves at RAF Shawbury throughout the period. Aircraft will minimise disturbance to the local population with straight in approaches to land and depart wherever possible, subject to air traffic control deconfliction. 22 July: Officers’ Mess Summer Ball. 29 July: Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants Mess Summer Ball. 11 August: Families Day - Displays by various aircraft, including a Chinook, Falcons Parachute Display Team, and fast jets throughout the afternoon from 1300h -1600. 8 September: Annual Reception - Spitfire flypast, Juno flypast, Falcons Parachute Display Team at approx.1830-1845h. 9 September: Warrant Officers’ and Sergeants’ Mess Battle of Britain Dinner - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast requested at approximately 1830h. 15 September: Officers’ Mess Battle of Britain Dinner - Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast flypast requested at approximately 1830h. 24-25 September: Motorcycle Rider Safety Weekend in aid of RAF Shawbury charities. 11 November: Battle of Taranto Commemoration Dinner - Battle re-enactment at Officers’ Mess.
