With less than two days to go the Open Day is nearly here.

We will be opening at 10 am.

A customer who came last year told me to recommend to you that if you arrive early you can get a great English Breakfast and/or a cup of tea/coffee at the Dunkeswell Air Centre which in on the main road just before you reach us

Remember if you are not coming but want to bid on one of the model kits then we need your bid by tomorrow (Friday) at 1pm British time.

Please find directions below:

Directions

For those with Sat Nav the post code is EX14 4RD. This should get you close!

For those without:

From the M5 come off at Junction 26. (approx 15 – 20 minutes)


Follow signs to the A38, then proceed towards Exeter, after a mile or so take a left signposted to ‘Monument’. Follow this road until you reach a cross roads at the top of a very steep winding hill, go straight across (slightly to right) proceed down hill into Hemyock. Follow road through village, bear left at the Catherine Wheel Pub, driving past with the pub on your left hand side. Follow this road until you reach Dunkeswell. You will see the airfield on the right and Flightway is the first turning on the left after the 30 sign. We are on the right half way down this road.

From Honiton (approx 10 – 15 minutes)

Take the road signposted to Dunkeswell (also the Canadian Maple Leaf) from the A30.

After about 4 miles bear off to the left (signposted Dunkeswell). Follow this road down though the village and right out to the other side until you see the airfield on your left. Flightway in the last turning on the right before you reach the national speed limit sign.

We are on the right half way down this road.

The roads are narrow and twisted in places, tractors, cows crossing etc is not unusual so do take care.

Have a very safe journey and we very much look forward to seeing you all on Saturday.

Gill and Mark

Yes all the locals the people outside of Devon and Cornwall are only use to driving on WIDE roads and worry about of a blade of grass touching their cars so be careful. You can tell when its an outsider they drive in the middle of the road............... :roll:

Some of the roads there are not that wide also.
So driving in the middle of those is like driving on the side....

Dont worry, in 2007 I reached Dunkeswell without problems: and I had the difficult of left driving.
