Blackpool Airshow 2012

[eddywinch82]

This years date for the show is Sunday 12th August I believe.
Sadly the show clashes with Eastbourne Airshow, so the BBMF are sending the Dakota and a Spitfire
no Lancaster this time unfortunately. Does anyone know of any other particpants for the event ? Any info would be appreciated

VisitBlackpool website now showing the following line-up:

Display aircraft to include:

RV8tors

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire & Dakota
Extra EA300
Gyrocopter
RAF Chinook Helicopter
Grob Tutor T1
RAF Tucano
SWIP Team
Brietling Airwalkers

Aerostars Display Team

Which if confirmed, without The Reds and The Hawk means just about every other RAF display team is there this year.

Not too bad, the RV8tors were my stars of last years show.

Perhaps the Russians are paying a decent sum of money to have them....

Not too bad, the RV8tors were my stars of last years show. I agree - I have seen them elsewhere and it is an excellent display.

Wildcat Aerobatic Team added to the display, think the Chinook might of been dropped, not on the list anymore on Blackpools website.
