Dawn Patrol 2010
Sunday September 12th 2010
The “Dawn Patrol Memorial Fly-Past” is held on the Sunday morning closest to 15th September, the anniversary of the zenith of one of the greatest aerial battles of our time, the “Battle of Britain”, which occurred during the Summer of 1940. Whilst the event commemorates the “Battle of Britain”, it has become a Memorial Flight for all aviators who have made the “Supreme Sacrifice” in all theatres of war.
At first light, up to 60 aircraft of various types will depart Moorabbin Airport in stream formation at approximately twenty-second intervals. The planned route takes the aircraft over the Shrine of Remembrance, Westgate Bridge, Point Cook Aerodrome (the birthplace of the RAAF) and Avalon Airport, returning to Moorabbin Airport via Port Phillip Heads.
The Special Guest Speaker at the Breakfast in the Hangar following the Dawn Patrol flight will be advised in due course.
Three flying scholarships, provided by Mobil Aviation in association with the Royal Australian Air Force Association (Victorian Branch), 460 Bomber Squadron Trust and the Royal Victorian Aero Club, will be awarded at the Breakfast.
A Private Flying Display for members and guests will take place following the breakfast function.
The Club’s committee members, organisers and participants welcome visitors to the club for this unique event.
