Waddington air show 2011

Postby Hihonyr8811 » Mon Dec 06, 2010 11:23 pm

I've just been told the Thunderbirds have been booked (hopefully not the puppet thunderbirds =)) ).
Anyone know anything about this or have I missed something :))


Anyway, feel free to use this thread for anything concerning next years show :D.

Even if they* were appearing on the same day as the Wings and Wheels event the only place to be would be Wellesbourne Mountford. No contest. ;)

This only refers to the T'Birds* of course. ;)

Fingers crossed for some 'interesting' participants for Waddo. ;)

Looking at my calendar again, I get back from America on the 30th. Trouble is, I suffer from crippling jet-lag. Usually requiring 3 or 4 days to recover.

If I'm feeling ok, I'll rock up on the Sunday, I would imagine ;)
