Peter Brown's long
standing connection with Blackbushe Airport continues with his forum,
"Blackbushe Airport, The One-Stop Forum", and launching the current Blackbushe Air Day project.
A founder member of two of the
early Blackbushe based flying clubs in the 1960's, as a teenager Peter spent part
of his weekends washing club aircraft in exchange for free flying lessons.
Interviewed a number of times on
local radio in connection with his events , Peter has also had numerous letters
printed in the local and international press supporting Blackbushe and the
value of an airfield in its location.
In the 1970's he ran two large
air shows at Blackbushe and was Public Relations Officer for the then
Blackbushe Airport Users' Association.
The "Great Blackbushe
Aviators' Weekends" were also his creations, as were the 1992 50th
Anniversary celebrations of Blackbushe Airport.
Most recently his sign "The Airlines of Blackbushe Airport" was unveiled
adjacent to the main Terminal Building. The ceremony was performed by Harold
Bamberg, Founder and Chairman of Eagle Airways - a major British independent
airline founded at Blackbushe.
The 2016 Blackbushe Air Day is
the most recent project Peter has instigated, and he is optimistic of being closely involved in future events such as
The Blackbushe 75th Anniversary in 2017.
Peter is a great friend and supporter of all things Blackbushe, including Aerobility, so we are delighted to be involved in delivering his Blackbushe Air Day vision. In return, all proceeds raised on the day are kindly being donated to Aerobility.
