A re-enactment of the start of the MacRobertson Air Race from England to Australia in 1934 took place at Midenhall. Although a grass strip was prepared this became unusable due to cross winds and a taxiway where aircraft had been parked became a short temporary runway. Many hands were needed to remove the parked aircraft and the visitors were moved away so this temporary 'runway' could be used.
