It really is wonderful to watch jayb,and the best thing is none of them cues in this weather and extortionate prices :)

And you've got your own radio station at Waddington on 87.9FM over the weekend...

I love the Red arrows I will not be going to the show though cannot cope with the heat and large crowds now though. Enjoy the show Jambo it is amazing . I just heard a friend of my sons qued for 45 minutes to get in only to be told by a steward it was a sell out no tickets left and had to go home .

It's a heck of a walk... just over 42 miles for the quickest route on foot, at my speed I should be there in plenty of time for the 2026 airshow :)

The wife's working this weekend, so she has the car... Couldn't even have gone if it was still at Finningley :( Was there a couple of years ago, I got up close and personal with XH558 :)

We have the Bournemouth Air Show in September (well at least I think it's then) and we get the Red Arrows flying overhead then on their way to and from - wonderful sight. It was a couple of miles away that the poor pilot John Eggington lost his life a couple of years ago and they have done a marvellous sculpture in his honour. xx

I live near Duxford, part of the Imperial War Museum. They sometimes have air displays. We see the spitfire, hurricane and the lancaster planes fly over. The very sound of them bring back childhood memories. It a great place to visit.

Before we came to Royston, we lived in Farnborough. I worked there when I was married. They had an annual airshow nearby.

I love Duxford Annie we used to take my son there with my Dad when he was little brings back some happy memorys

love Julie xx x xx x

I must be the only person that's never been to an air show .... but in these parts we frequently are subjected to low flying aircraft.... scares the living daylights out of me! :)

Hi John.

I used to go to see the Shuttleworth collection at Old Warden a lot when I lived at Bedford. Very, very old aircraft. Now, for my sins, I live on the flight path just short of Birmingham Airport. I sit in the garden in this weather with a pair of binoculars watching all these people going on holidays that my lungs won't let me go on. Ho Hum.

Oh dear,a week in skeggy in a caravan ??? :)

When I was a kid, we used to take a picnic, walk across the fields and sit on the bank of the River Taw and watch Chivenor Air Display for free.
