Unrestricted external access to Regulus is available to visitors at any time during Cotswold Airport normal opening hours, via the North side entrance from the A433 Tetbury/Cirencester road. On the first and third Sunday of each month the aircraft is normally open and staffed by our members between approximately 12.30 and 4.00. There is no charge for entry but donations are welcome.

When official events are staged on the North side of the airfield, public car parking is adjacent to Regulus, so make sure you visit us while you enjoy the show.

Don't forget we are open for groups and talks, by prior arrangement. We now have a PA system installed with a radio microphone, enabling our hosts to make more thorough (and audible) presentations. We also have a new flat screen TV/DVD player showing a range of DVDs, which are also available to buy. And we can show other presentations using our Home Cinema projector and screen.

We offer an unusual and intriguing venue for your next club or society meeting (as the Ford Anglia 105E Owners Club will confirm!). And your tour or meeting can take advantage of the excellent AV8 restaurant, adjacent to the Control Tower. Meals can be booked in advance.

Finally, if you simply want to have a look inside the aircraft but can't make our standard opening days (first and third Sunday of each month, 13.00 - 16.00), just contact us. If we have volunteers available or we are opening up for guests from Fly2Help, we'll do our best to accommodate you. Please phone Eric Healey on 07977 071940.

HAPPY FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY REGULUS

Built by Shorts in Belfast, Regulus made its first flight on 24th August 1960.

On 17th September 1960 it arrived at Royal Air Force Lyneham where two days later it was taken on charge.

FLYPAST MAGAZINE has marked the anniversary with an article in the October edition, which is on sale on Wednesday, 1st September. If you want to know more, go and buy it.

Don't forget that if you are coming to the Battle of Britain Air Show at the Cotswold Airport, Kemble , 18/19 Sept, you can also visit us. We are on static display and located on our permanent site next to the carpark, as always entry is free although we do accept donations, gratefully!
