What is significant for this location is that the former HMS Daedalus airfield during Operation Overlord on the 6th June 1944 saw 435 sorties flown from here making it the busiest single airfield on D-Day. In all, over 2,000 sorties were flown from this airfield, the majority in the first ten days of operation.

​

Now as Solent Airport it provides an amazing space for the event to be located and really does lend itself to the name of the event as the efforts from this airfield ultimately led to the allied forces WWII ‘Victory’.

We are now reaching out to owners and operators of period and WWII aircraft to come and be part of our static display.
