If you count non U.K. Based participants you can add the B-25 Mitchell, A-26 Invader and Team Reva ever since I have been going since '04.

There are 12 airshows in Europe that weekend even if they had asked would probably have got a negative response but at least it would be nice for them to broaden their horizons.What about the Blue Angels.They would love a weekend in Blackpool.lol

Don't forget the Bronco was booked for last year. Although it failed to turn up due to bad weather that's no fault of Southport, so they are try to bring in international acts.

Being very picky....

OFMC don't have a Buchon, it's from the Aircraft Restoration Company...

Not meaning to be picky chaps, I love my warbirds so this is shaping up nicely for me.

I was merely curious whether it'd be a Buchon which I've seen before, or an actual ME-109 which I've yet to see.

Gutted we don't have the Matadors coming but have a feeling it was Paul Bonhomme and Steve Jones who flew the Buchon and Spitfire duo at an event earlier in the year so could well be them.

Compared to last year and the year before they've certainly announced the displays sooner, rather then keeping everyone waiting.


Counting down the days are we buddy? :lol: :biggrin:

You'll find the Turbulent Team provide a much more leisurely comfort break. And you'll be missing far less than if you turned away from the Tutor display, which quiet as it is, is real aerobatics.
