BritBoP Convention

Birds of Prey BritBoP Convention 2026 is coming to Aldershot, UK!

If you are new to Birds of Prey, this is the perfect place to learn how to play. If you have played before, you can hone your skills and advance your tactics. And it is your chance to hang out with the people that create and support the game!

When: Thursday June 4, 2026 through Sunday June 8, 2025, with an optional museum visit on Wednesday June 3

Where: Aldershot, Hampshire, UK (near London)

Cost: We ask everyone to share the cost of the gaming room, which should be pretty reasonable.

Museum visit: Royal Air Force Museum London, at Hendon.

The convention will be flying with Birds of Prey 2.0 rules and production E6BoP flight computers from the forthcoming BoP 2.0 Playtest Kit. (Ownership will not be required. We will make sure there are extra E6BoPs and Flight Aids at the event.)

Please sign up and let us know if you intend to attend:

Kangaroo Court?
There is a group dinner where we recap the event thus far, discuss the state of air combat gaming, and, perhaps most importantly, hand out call-signs to new aviators (and occasionally reassign the callsign of someone who has... distinguished themselves.)

We will be visiting the Royal Air Force Museum London, at Hendon, a collection located in North London covering a broad range of eras of Royal Air Force aircraft.
The museum trip(s) will be on the days preceding the convention and are entirely optional. Please coordinate with the event organizers to be there at the same time and can carpool if desired.
