Tickets booked, looks like a fantastic line-up already which should hopefully mean tickets get snapped up!

Not to dismiss the event and the good cause but isnt this more or less the same line up it has had for the last 5 years?

Take a camera with you.

TBH the flight line is small. I've only been once and been able to get behind the chicken sheds to the left which meant that most people go the right. If you want to get take off and landing you need to be early and grab a place but be aware they park aircraft right in front of you so either go for a gap between already parked aircraft and try to avoid anything like a tiger moth as you'll have two lots of wings to try and look through. If your not bothered about take off and landing the crowd line is about 20' deep so anywhere will do. Hang around after the show, the crowd goes quickly and you usually get some nice low take offs that you'll be able to get more easily than if you were watching the proper show. Have a good time. Weather looks good
