  A Press Release from The Helicopter Museum, in Weston-super-Mare,  confirmed that the 2012 Weston Super HeliDays fly-in and static helicopter display would take place over the weekend of 21st-22nd July at the Museum's Weston Airfield Site.

Already confirmed is participation from the German Navy and from para-public agencies, in addition to a number of visiting civil helicopters from private and commercial operators.

The military aircraft is expected to remain until departure early on Monday 23rd July.

"We are very pleased to be keeping this long-running aviation event alive, even though we have had to relocate it from the Beach Lawns due to the recession and rising costs", said Museum Engineering Manager Rod Holloway, who has acted as Head Aircraft Marshaller at the event for the last ten years. "Weston has almost 60 years of helicopter tradition, from manufacturing to the museum, and we need to continue waving the flag for future generations".
