Page "Sywell Aerodrome" Paragraph 10

The LAA, formerly the Popular Flying Association or PFA, is the UK's body for amateur aircraft construction, and recreational & sport flying.

It used to hold its annual rally at Cranfield Airport, and then at Kemble Airport.

In 2006 the LAA lost so much money through poor attendances resulting from poor weather that in 2007 & 2008, much smaller ( and cheaper ) " regional rallies " were held.

These were unpopular ; and in September 2009 a revived ( if cut-down ) LAA Rally was held at Sywell.

This proved successful, and as further well attended rallies took place at Sywell in 2010, 2011 and 2012, the long-term future of the LAA Rally seems secure.
