Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
Such a lazy line-up! No theme, no thought.
Stinks of the standard "Give them the Red Arrows, BBMF, Vulcan and fill the rest with the cheapest drizzle possible." attitude that seaside events are famous for.

What's wrong with the Sea Vixen, B-17, Chinook? I think the flying line up is great for such a small airshow.

Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
I think it's a little harsh calling it lazy, in Weston we are just glad to have an airshow back on our shores, five years ago i never thought i'd ever see the Vulcan back flying over the town. It's one of the few things the council have got right here in recent years so i'm hoping it continues to grow.
I was very excited when hearing about the Sea Vixen but then i went to their Facebook page and saw the latest news about engine damage, so at the moment they are hoping to fly at Yeovilton so anything before July is very unlikely
Like last year i think we'll have the Dakota replacing the Lancaster in the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight display.

Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
Each display that Weston as booked/Been allocated is of high quality, there are still more to add and the static display of helicopters is back this year and International air arms have been invited.

Its a free show and a good day out sat on a beach watching an airshow , may not be a stellar lineup but all credit to the organisers .
Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
Any ideas what helicopters will be on static display along the front? Hoping/assuming the Whirlwind will make an appearance?

Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
So the Sea Vixen even has a slot allocated despite the fact they have said consistently VLAD will be the first show of the year, asuming its even ready for that...

With dumb bombs and retarded bomblets, why don't they just use stupid missiles?
Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
It's also the first show where I've seen Red 10's arrival being included as part of the public schedule, and one due to last for 15 minutes at that!
Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
Good Line up, anyone know if the Navy or foreign Military Helicopters are on static, website isn't to helpful.

A good line-up, shame about the Sea Vixen but not really a surprise, hopefully they try and get it again for next years show.
Re: Weston Air Festival 2015
Is it correct that the Gyro will be displaying twice in the same day?
