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.

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!
