Bournemouth Air Festival 2010

[Stigish]

TBH I'm not sure which is worse - hanging around hoping - or calling it a day.

Sods law says as soon as they say thats it canx all flying, the sun will come out!!

according to the number of tweets I'm reading, the weather is clearing from the west with sun breaking through & they have booked the airspace until 6pm instead of the planned 16:30.

I'm still in two minds whether or not I should venture out.........Lambs in the oven on slow cook, gateau is defrosting in the fridge and they should all be ready @ 6pm.................Oh the problems!

haha - how long will it take you to get there?

Seeing as everone will be going the opposite way, about 10 mins.
Matadors due to display @ 15:55 to see what the conditions are like.

Aircraft serviced and ready to go. To go as far as the hangar door probably.

What you waiting for - got to be worth a punt - get your ass in gear!!!


It doesn't look better on the webcam - but I suspect a clean wouldn't hurt

Donkeys don't have gearboxes.

You can't call Stiggy a donkey - that's not nice!!!

STIGGY latest twitter says the crew are in & waiting to move - get a wriggle on!!!

[Pujgnie]

Bournemouth airspace now extended to 18.00hrs...

REDS officially cancelled.

Miss Demeanour now displaying

[Mayfly]

Come back Stiggy Bournemouth officially off now!!!!


I wonder if 558 will get out to do Sywell......

[Pujgnie]

Oh bo cocks....... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bloody weather .

Such a shame for all concerned. Feel sorry for all the visitors who expected to see an air show

[Mags]

Very unlucky Sodding weather - and so many people there!

[Mayfly]

Looks like 558 can't get back to Brize before tomorrow....

[Stigish]

I'm back I got there just to hear a distant thunder heading back to Hurn, followed by crowds of people leaving. I still managed to get the little man an inflatable Vulcan from the VV on the overcliff .

[Mayfly]

Just shows you shouldn't take notice of me!!!

[Pujgnie]

A Vulcan stay at Cobham is not part of the plan....

A dash to Brize at first oppertunity is the next option albeit via the scenic route

[Olicat]

went on saturday and sunday, both wet and cancelled because of weather (cloud base i think)

[Mayfly]

Hello Olicat welcome to IA


If you think about it, the weather has not been kind to airshows this year, Waddington lost half their flying on the Sunday because of high winds. RIAT Sunday morning was claggy was they some dispays too. Lowestoft had 2 wet days with thunderstorms.

My main concern is the sea side shows have enough finance for next year.

[Cluny]

And you cant blame me this time , I was a 100+ miles away getting sunburnt

[Mayfly]

Do you have photographic evidence?

[Olicat]

thanks for the welcome
I hate uk weather sometimes!!
although i did watch some things going out and coming back from bournemouth intl on friday
i found it funny that on the screens (supposed to be showing the displays(of which there were about 4 or 5)) it said "The biggest air spectacular in the uk!" (which it wasnt)

that said, thursdays night air was briliant!

[Mayfly]

If you say Hi the new members section you'll receive lots of welcome

Yeah It's such a shame when the weathers bad

[Olicat]

ill try that !

[Stigish]

Now I've finished my lovely 6hr slow cooked lamb shoulder and profiteroles , got out of my wet clothes, had a glass (or two) of vin rouge and read some forums/comments I'm astonished!

All the moaners are out in force tonight! They'll all be there next year still.

I just hope they have a sense of guilt if all the sponsors tighten their purse strings for next years event!

I can't wait until next year...THE WEATHER WILL BE BETTER!

[Olicat]

haha

yes, it will be better!

Didn't you find the profiteroles a tad over done?
