The VPAC Fly-in on September 19th at Henstridge Airfield is a dedicated gathering for members and enthusiasts of the Vintage Piper Aircraft Club, bringing classic light aircraft to the historic North Dorset aerodrome. Operating on the site of WWII naval air station HMS Dipper, the airfield provides a fitting backdrop for pilots flying in from across the UK to showcase classic Piper designs—such as Cubs, Tri-Pacers, Super Cubs, and Vagabonds—alongside other classic US light aircraft types.
Throughout the event, attendees and visiting aviators can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere focused on general aviation heritage and community. Visitors have the opportunity to inspect preserved vintage aircraft parked along the airfield, swap maintenance and restoration advice, and watch steady runway activity, all while benefiting from the warm hospitality of Henstridge's clubhouse and local airfield facilities.
