2024 Christmas Social – Sunday 15th December 2024 at 1300z
Christmas can’t be complete without our annual Lapland Social flight! A highlight of the Fly UK event calendar, our Social festive flight takes us from Manchester Airport to Rovaniemi. The event will take place on our private FSD network and we expect mince pie crumbs to be found on arrival......(and empty gluhwein mugs). 

Always a great turnout with fun, banter, the traditional quiz and often a few unsuspecting recipients of the "Pro Peelot Award" 

As Always we wish all members a great festive season, come join us on events, share the spirit and have a great time!
