Birmingham Airport will today (Sunday) be holding a host of events at Sheldon Country Park, near Marston Green, to celebrate its 80th anniversary.
The site then known as Elmdon Airport was officially opened by the Duchess of Kent in July 1939.
At the time it was owned and operated by Birmingham City Council and the level of activity on the eve of the Second World War was a fraction of what takes place today.
There will be a packed programme of live performances from 11am-5.30pm. A full schedule of times is available below.
