Thanks for that. Shame the Sea Vixen wont be on with 558, that flypast at Yeovilton needs airing to a bigger audience ! Good programme though, fingers crossed for better weather than last year !
Who is going to Bournemouth and when ???

Not quite an airshow or fly-in but hopefully will attract a few visiting aircraft.
Turweston is hoping to attract a variety of aircraft on four Sundays by offering FREE LANDINGS from Nov 20th to Dec 11th.
Situated in the centre of the country allows aircraft to come from all directions and still be a relatively short flight from home. Some interesting aircraft are based there (the Miles Whitney Straight for one) but we are hoping to get some first time visitors who may want somewhere to go on a cold Winter Sunday.
Turweston is known as a very 'enthusuiast-friendly' airfield. The cafe is available to all and will be open from 11:00 - 15:00.
