Shows at Elvington

A full airshow has not be held since 2010. See the calendar for the dates of any air shows and the web sites in the box above for details of other events.

Elvington

Elvington, Yorkshire, was an RAF air base during the war and until 1992. The control tower and associated buildings are now the home of the Yorkshire Air Museum, displaying over 40 aircraft and full-scale replicas as well as war vehicles, uniforms, other memorabilia and historical documents.

The venue hosts a varied sequence of events from late spring until the autumn. Air-related shows include engine runs, flypasts, aerobatics and record attempts but not the full airshow of some venues. There are also vintage vehicle rallies including one billed as the largest military vehicle gathering in the north of England. For more details of the displays, see the calendar and the museums own web site.
