OUR HISTORIC HOME
We are pleased to announce that the 2023 Lee Victory Festival event will be held on the old WWII HMS Daedalus airfield, Lee on the Solent, now as Solent Airport @ Daedalus, which is owned and operated by Fareham Borough Council
Fareham Borough Council are proudly supporting the organisers of the Lee Victory Festival and as we now have the necessary permissions to be on the airfields we can make this announcement. (Click here for Press Release)
What is significant for this location is that the former HMS Daedalus airfield during Operation Overlord on the 6th June 1944 saw 435 sorties flown from here making it the busiest single airfield on D-Day. In all, over 2,000 sorties were flown from this airfield, the majority in the first ten days of operation.
Now as Solent Airport @ Daedalus it provides an amazing space for the event to be located and really does lend itself to the name of the event as the efforts from this airfield ultimately led to the allied forces WWII ‘Victory’.
We are now reaching out to owners and operators of period and WWII aircraft to come and be part of our static display.
Now we have the airfield for our event we are looking forward to building a 2025 event to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE & VJ Days
