EMC2010

The British Microlight Aircraft Association and the Royal

Aero Club submit their final bid to hold the 2010

European Microlight Championships at Sywell

Aerodrome in Northamptonshire from 7th to 15th August

2010.

Sywell, which is in the centre of England 260 km from

Dover, was opened in 1928 and is a traditional British

aerodrome. Until 2008 its runways have been of grass

but a new tarmac runway is being laid down and will be

complete by 2010 although EMC2010 will be flown

from the grass.
