Southend 2011?

Thought it was a good show all things considered. Obvious star was the Vulcan but there was a good variety and some nice flying. People are so critical but this show is served up for free and I think everyone involved should be congratulated!!

Struggling to find any posts on this thread where 'people are so critical' of Southend airshow.....?

Who mentioned threads? Did you attend the show?

yes on both days - an excellent show in difficult times, maybe I missed it but I have not seen/heard anyone criticise the show...
Everyone I heard said how great it was, especially the Reds.

In conditions that that were a lot less than ideal ALL the pilots put on superb displays from the tiny RV8's (I want one!) to the Tornados and the Merlin not one act failed to gain a round of applause at the end of thier slot.

Many thanks must also go to the team on the ground who kept the show running, lets hope we are all here again next year celibrating the 27th airshow and all commenting on how hot and sunny it was!

Sounds like I must have overheard the only people in Southend to be moaning then. Glad to hear it!
