Peter Grant & Mark Fox head west into Northamptonshire on a rideout with an aviation link; ride leader Peter takes participants to the Pilots Mess Café at Sywell Aerodrome. First opened in 1928, the aerodrome operated as RAF Sywell during WWII when it was an important training & aircraft production facility. The four runways are now used for private flights and by fixed-wing & helicopter training schools
