Am I imagining it or did Legends revise their planned date to avoid a clash a few years ago Is everybody convinced that the date set for next year is set in concrete? It’s a very busy few days and attendance must suffer when RIAT, Legends and Farnborough are all on top of each other.
If I want to buy Earliybird RIAT tickets, I need my plans sorted now

Plan then, rather than worry.

Re: Date clashes
Don't forget it's RIAT that have changed their dates to coincide with Farnborough, not Legends.

Yes I'm not blaming Legends. I just think it's a shame that any of them may dip out on a lot of income, just because of the impracticalities and the cost. Of course the weather is probably much more influential then any of these factors.

Re: Date clashes
They have clashed before and not been a problem and I believe on one occasion RIAT got rained off so it was a mad dash to Legends on the Sunday.

Re: Date clashes
That was 2008. The coaches that flooded to Legends! 
The Mustang won't do what a Spitfire does, but it does it over Berlin.
Re: Date clashes
The clash suits me as it allows me to do both in one short trip. Otherwise I would only be able to do one

Re: Date clashes
Have just come across your post, and have to say I think your reference to your wife as a "little lady" is very brave (as they say in "Yes, Minister"). If i had done that, I would currently be engaged in extracting my 100-400mm zoom lens from a very painful place!

Im just about allowed to get away with it because A she is 4'-9"
and B doesn't know about this forum or topic yet 
as i said Legends will be her first ever air show , managed to get her to Duxford one Saturday in October last year nothing flying with an overcast grey day typical.. 
As for comments about clashes 2008 was when Liberty Belle was over and if i can remember didn't it come over the PA system about midday'ish that they had stopped admissions due to all car parks being full or did i just Imagen it ?
