Combined Ops Military and Aviation Show

Kent's only Military Vehicle and Airshow a truly unique experience! The event is held at Headcorn Aerodrome has a variety of vintage and modern aircraft displays, on the ground and in the air.

The Combined Ops show started at Headcorn Aerodrome in 2009 and was an instant success with both the public and the IMPS members. The event was designed to combine all of the military vehicles regularly shown at various events, but with the added bonus of vintage aircraft all in one incredible show.

Every year the event goes from strength to strength, as we add more exciting displays and activities for all the family to see. 2014 saw the only two flying Avro Lancaster bombers doing a full display. 2015 we had the incredible Vulcan bomber which not only filled the skies with its sheer size but its deafening sound.

The Aerodrome attracts lots of vintage aircraft from all over the country. Throughout each day aircraft are always landing and taking off, it’s certainly a busy weekend for air traffic control. A large selection of the machines on display are driven around the event arena, where running commentary will keep you informed of all the facts and figures. See these beautifully restored machines roar into life. If you have never been close to these amazing machines and their pilots then now is the time.

Every year a fierce battle is fought in the fields of Headcorn depicting real scenes from WW2. The re-enactors armed with real weapons expelling thousands of blank rounds engage in carefully planned skirmishes. The sound from the guns is deafening, together with explosions that blow holes in the ground and filling the air with dirt and smoke is certainly adrenaline pumping action, this is as realistic as it gets!

A great family event which includes static military vehicles, living history re-enactment groups, arena events, military stalls and children's mini tanks and food stalls to make this a perfect day out.
