Historic Helicopters have just cancelled this event due to “insurmountable circumstances”.

Reading between the lines, increase in costs or not enough attendance to cover the costs?

FB link isn’t working for me, but at a guess it’s the cancellation announcement - IG below in case anyone has any similar issues.



I’m not really of a mind to speculate because it could be anything, but they obviously wouldn’t have cancelled unless it was absolutely necessary. It’s a great shame for HH and Threahold.aero. Feel for those guys.

I hope whatever issues there are can be worked through for future open days.
