[Aacs pressman]

We are truly excited to have secured the RNethAF F-16 display for this year's Abingdon Air & Country Charity Show as, it would appear, are many of you! What we need now though, and this is the obvious bit, is for as many of you as possible to attend the show. We appreciate there are other things to do on the same day and some of you will be going elsewhere, that's wholly understandable. But to those who are as yet undecided about Sunday May 2nd please, please pay us a visit. To the 'regulars' we thank you for your continued support, to those that haven't been to Abingdon before, what a year to make it your first visit! We need to get as many visitors to AA&CS 2010 as we can, we hope you'll be able to join us. Oh, and bring all your family and friends along too!

Abingdon Air & Country Show – Official Statement

Due to circumstances beyond the organisers’ control, no fixed-wing aircraft will be operating from Abingdon Airfield for the Abingdon Air & Country Show on Sunday 2nd May 2010.

This is due to an issue surrounding the sign-off by Defence Estates, which owns the airfield, of the licence which is required to operate fixed-wing aircraft from Abingdon for the event.

The show’s flying display will still be going ahead as planned.

The fixed-wing aircraft that were due to operate from the airfield will no longer be able to do so, however these aircraft will now be operating from nearby RAF Brize Norton and flying in to Abingdon, without landing, to perform their displays.

The only aircraft on the ground during the show will be the helicopters forming the static display.

It is hoped some of the aircraft that were scheduled for the static display – including the RAF C-17 Globemaster – will be able to perform fly pasts during the afternoon flying display, while organisers are also working to secure additional items for the airshow to help ease this disappointing situation.

The Abingdon Air & Country Show would like to apologise to the public for any disappointment this will cause. They are keen to reinforce that the flying display is still going ahead as planned and that the show’s other attractions on the ground will be unaffected.
