Little Gransden next Sunday mate. If you liked Sywell you'll LOVE Gransden. Very similar atmosphere & the aircraft come really close to the crowd due to the small airfield. I've never seen the Vulcan fly so close & low!! Both Lancs, Vulcan (several flypasses) & really nice mix of other acts, some really unique all booked. It's close to selling out though. Online tickets already gone but tickets are available from various shops listed on the website if your quick. No on the gate tickets now though either. More info here -

Cheers Steve, I think I'm going for Bournemouth as I've never seen a seaside airshow. I am led to believe it'll be busy!

A couple of years ago I found myself sailing off Bournemouth on the day of their airshow. I was very impressed: Vulcan, BoB Flight, Reds, B17... You don't get this lot at most air shows.

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

No probs. I mentioned Gransden as I thought it may be a bit more local. Bournemouth is probably the best of all of the seaside airshows but yes, your right it is VERY busy...over a 1.2 million people attend:o!!!

I might give Gransden a go next time, as it does look good.

It doesn't look likely that we'll be seeing the 'big 3' in formation in the air at Waddo or at any other show venue this Thursday as this comment by XH558 pilot Bill Ramsey points out on the Global Aviation Resource web site -

“The first thing that is slightly unusual is that we have three aircraft all owned by different people and governed by different authorities with slightly different rules and regulations. That is why we won’t be taking this formation to a public display / airshow, as we would need to display in front of the RAF BBMF’s Air Officer Commanding in order to secure a PDA (Public Display Authorisation), and that would be time consuming and prohibitively expensive."

A bit more info here from the same website -

The route itself, starting at RAF Waddington, will see the three aircraft departing and then flying a box pattern to the south-west / west of Lincoln to allow them to form up. They will then fly over the turf-cutting ceremony for the new Bomber Command Memorial and on to Metheringham, RAF Coningsby and then a straight line on to RAF Marham. From there the Vulcan will push on to Clacton for its display slot, and it will be followed by the Lancasters, which will have met up with the BBMF fighters by this time, for their own slot at the airshow. The Vulcan will return home to Robin Hood while the Lancasters head to Southend to prepare for a weekend of airshows in the south of England.

Is anyone aware of any documentaries that may come out of this tour? Since I swapped my usual September trip back home to June, I am missing all the fun!
