Add to this the Vulcan, a Wokka, the Royal Marines Beach Assult demo and more to be unveiled its going to be brilliant!
Also they are putting on a Dusk Display from 8pm on the Thursday, to include the Dutch f16 :X , The Italian Pionner Display Team (including pyro's), Miss Demeanour and The Red Devils will be dropping in!
All of that will make for some gorgeous pics, so I'll be hiring at least a 400mm lens..............Hopefully :D

So who's going and do we attempt to make it an 'Official Iconic Aircraft Meet'?

Edit to add ITS FREE!

That would be too easy for him there's only 1.5 miles of beach for him to choose from instead of 2miles of tarmac :))

This is getting ever closer & I'm getting too impatient!
Another taster for you:
http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/8 ... ch_rescue/

I picked up the official programme today and it's possibly the best programme I've seen, very professional with more about the displaying aircraft than adverts or anything else.

I've also hear a rumour that a certain triangular flying thing will be using the local airport next weekend.............I'm not going to hold my breath though, not at least until it's official.

:-o
Luckily..........NO. I'm just comfortable with my masculinity, or something along those lines :-??

Basically, my good lady decided I suited a pink shirt about 5 years ago when I was having a suit fitting. Since then it has become my colour of choice :ymblushing:

You can be as sarky as you like, Xpl, but read what he actually said.

Someone told him he looked good in a pink shirt with one particular suit five years ago, and he's worn a pink shirt, suitable or not, with every suit he's had since.

Sounds like a typical bloke to me. :D

Lets put it this way you'll only ever see me in blue - airshows, white - summer shirts, or pink tops - all the time (boring, I know) mostly pink as it makes me stand out more (being a short arse it works ;) ) and most of the limp wristed fellas I know hate pink #:-S
