I'm working on the VTTS stand on Saturday, then going along Sunday as a punter. My parents are coming along too: appropriate as Dad worked on Hunters during his time at Folland / Hawker Siddeley and Kemble's theme this year is 60 years of the Hunter.

Sunday's now sold out...

Darn, didn't think the live cams would update on here. There was a Hunter on the 2nd screen earlier, as well as the Antonov AN2 that almost flies backwards and something else there earlier.

According to UKar 558 is landing at Kemble after Cosford, staying the week then taking off again for display on Saturday then on to Margate and back home to Finningley.


EDIT: Just read the latest newsletter and it also mentions it, but says it still has to be finalised.

I asked on the Facebook page whether we might get to see the Canberra Pr9 and the response I recieved was 'Possibly' so I hope it does make an appearance!

How about meeting by the static Hercules at 10am (or a little earlier if people plan on arriving early)?? Thats big enough you shouldnt be able to miss it!!

Flying starts at 11am for the morning session.
