Stay at the Aviator Hotel in Sywell, an Art Deco building that was the Clubhouse and Officers' mess in the thirties, located beside the grass airfield. Dine in the Cirrus room overlooking the landing strip. Arrive Friday afternoon, take a peek at the airfield museum, pick up the route books, have a buffet dinner, and swap stories with old friends. Spend Saturday morning on a gentle jaunt to Olney in Buckinghamshire, browse in the antique shops, do some shopping. After lunch make your way to Bletchley Park where the Enigma cyphers were cracked during WW11, see the Colossus computer after its reconstruction, then back to Sywell for dinner. On Sunday a rural run via Southam for coffee, then on to Ingon Manor golf club in Warwickshire for lunch followed by a visit to the Heritage Museum at Gaydon. In mid 2007 a £1.1m refit will be complete, so after a look round there will be just enough time to fit in the obligatory cream tea. On Monday visit the Icarus Falconry to see birds of prey go through their paces. The Falconry is located in the grounds of Holdenby House the largest private house in Elizabethan England. All this for £399 per couple and £299 single. Contact Tony and Sylvia Lake on 01604 589104 or tonylake134(at)o2.co.uk for a registration form.
