That'll probably be it for me this year. I'll be in America for Waddington and Kemble. Might catch a freebie to Duxford with XP

Any time you want to go mate!

01/07/2010 Waddington arrivals
02/07/2010 Waddington arrivals
03/07/2010 Waddington - inside Waddington
04/07/2010 Waddington - outside Waddington

20/08/2010 Bournemouth
21/08/2010 Shoreham
22/08/2010 Shoreham

Plus a number of other non-airshow aviation related trips.

I might cut down this year.

Haven't done Duxford for a couple years, also Shuttleworth appeals - only been once, many years ago.
Probably my locals - still want to see a Vulcan flying past Beachy Head.

Anyone know if Coventry is happening again?

Going to be another thin airshow list for me this year.

Only have Shoreham Airshow planned and a trip to Yeovilton in the summer to get my (static) Harrier fix.

You won't be chancing another trip to dorset this year then seeing as your going to shoreham

It'll definately be Bournemouth, possibly RIAT.

CWJ day is 50/50 as we're off to Disneyland the following day for a week, although I could always convince the missus it'll help me drive to paris as the long journey to Brunty the day before could be a warm up

I've only just come back from Dorset, was gonna go to Yeovilton but it was so cold I thought it would be like a freezer in there and I didn't wanna waste the £12 entry fee!

Give it another 6 months and I might have just about recovered enough to venture down there again, scary bloody place!

I might have to exchange Shoreham for Waddington as I really want to see the Thunderbirds.

This year was supposed to be "the big one" for me as I thought my house would have sold and I had planned to go to MAKS this year, but that hasn't happened so no SU-27's for me this year

XP, I share the work of caring for my 93 year old mother (altzeimers

) with my brother, so his work shifts dictate when I can get away. 2011 looks favourable

Who's all going to Waddo? Jiggy?

by **Jigsaw** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:52 pm

I'm going to do my best to get there this year

by **Mayfly** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:06 pm

32 miles straight down the A15 Jiggy - you can't miss it!!!

Exactly the same distance as last year my dear but I missed it then

Hopefully work will materialise soon. Saying that I will probably get a job that starts that weekend :))

by **Mayfly** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 3:20 pm

I'll keep trying the competitions!!!

No problem at all XP

So which day are most folks likely to go?

Might also do RIAT, East Fortune and definately Leuchars - if it still exists by then :((

and I'm not very hopeful - I think the powers that be will keep Lossie......and the folks up there deserve for it to be rescued.

by **Mayfly** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:24 pm

Waddington will be my only one - the winds of change are blowing through Thomas Towers :((

by **Thumper** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:50 pm

If I'm at Waddington Mayfly I'll buy you a "commiserations" Hot Choccie and we can console each other on only getting to 1 airshow :((

by **Mayfly** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 5:55 pm

Deal

Sucks doesn't it!!!! :((

by **Minty4371** » Tue Jan 11, 2011 6:17 pm

See you at Waddington Pam. My only show of the year

No not really, DT's decided he's finally, finally, finally going to retire & I only got him to airshows in the last 2 years by using the excuse of trade training - so as a civvy I have no chance!!!

Perhaps he will have to accept that you might go along with someone else! :-o

Good plan. I will pick you up Pam, if you pay the petrol to get up your drive
