MUSTANGS IN THE PADDOCK 2026
About
Celebrate Simply Mustangs UK’s 10th Anniversary in style at Aces High Aviation Gallery with MUSTANGS IN THE PADDOCK 2026 — an open-to-all gathering of Ford Mustangs from every generation, displayed alongside the legendary WWII warbird, the P-51 Mustang, Tall-In-The-Saddle.✨ EXCLUSIVE ARTWORK:
A brand new Limited Edition Anniversary Art Print will be released exclusively for the event, placing the iconic P-51 at the centre of all seven Mustang generations — created to mark this milestone and available only to those who attend. Both the event logo and SMUK 10th anniversary logo will be printed in the lower margin of the print. Pre-order your copy through the ticket selection!
✨ THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A MEET...
Featuring a full day built around great cars, good people, and a unique setting you won’t find anywhere else! From early morning arrivals through to the afternoon, the paddock will be alive with Mustangs of every era, with the rare opportunity to get up close to a genuine WWII P-51 and even have your own car professionally photographed in front of it by automotive photographer Tom Woodward.
Alongside the cars, expect a relaxed but lively atmosphere with a curated mix of automotive traders, live music throughout the day, quality food on site, and a ‘Show & Shine’ competition celebrating some of the standout builds in attendance ✨
🛩️ PLUS, expect to see a few other commercial aeroplanes landing on the day! 🛩️
