Aviation Meeting
The first aviation meeting in France for 2026 took place last Saturday at the Aérodrome of Saint Yan, close to Paray-le-Monial in Burgundy. Small in size when compared to the more international events, it never-the-less attracted a large local audience to high-spirited displays given by a number of select pilots in their flying machines, enhanced by almost perfect weather. Here are a few photos to titillate your taste buds in perhaps attending an aviation gathering in your local area. Or travelling further afield and sampling the delights of one of the large international displays held for example at Duxford near Cambridge or La Ferté Alais near Paris. You won’t be disappointed.

A mixture of both military and civil classics.
