That's a marvellous line-up and I am really hoping to get there - firstly because I have not been for several years, and secondly because I feel it's the best possible tribute to Trevor Roche to support what he gave so much of his time and energy to.

[pbeardmore]

That looks like a cracking display, fingers crossed again for the Weather

[neilos]

Never been to a Shuttleworth display, even though the place is only about 30mins from me. It looks a cracking line up too. Clashes with a Duxford event, but might make this my first visit to Shuttleworrth.

For those that have been before, what time do you recommend turning up etc?

[MUSTANG]

Hi,

Its never that busy through the morning just a steady stream of cars and there never seems to be any problems, I usually turn up as the gates open at 9am. Although this show may have a bigger turn out than most due to last weekends event as a show of support (I would assume..).

Dont forget the flightline walk for only £5 SVAS members £0. If you are really lucky you might even get me to take you round

[st24]

Looking good, this show if any deserves perfect wx and sell out crowd.

The flightline walk charge for SVAS members is the same as for non-members. The charge is waived for SVAS Photo Section members, which costs a tenner on top of your usual SVAS membership.

[LN Strike Eagle]

Looks a great list.

No Lysander or Sea Hurricane?

[MUSTANG]

The Sea Hurricane was still without its Merlin on the 1st July, infact it was like that on the 19th May so assume its out of action till the problems solved.

Jut to be clear (as I don't see it mentioned in the title or thread) this event is to be held on Sunday 5th August.

I'll be there, the first time for the year, most unusual!

Thank you for that - I've just worked out my mistake! The problem with these senior events is that they are getting to be more frequent!

I think I'll still go to Old Warden; haven't been all year and I'm missing the joint.

All the best

Why is the Avro Triplane listed twice? Should the first one really read 'Avro 504K'?

[Rob Leigh]

Maybe because it's flying twice? The first slot's obviously an Avro formation, the second slot's the Edwardian segment of the show. The 504k hasn't got a working engine yet.

[Orion]

Just got back from a very pleasant afternoon at Old Warden. A shame that the show was curtailed by 20 minutes by the weather at the end, but a very good air display; most enjoyable.

[st24]

Glad they got away with it in the main, they deserve some good luck.

[AMB]

Did they fly both Ansons in formation? If not, surely a golden opportunity was lost?

[Orion]

Did they fly both Ansons in formation? If not, surely a golden opportunity was lost?

Why assume the negative? The Ansons did fly together.

[NeilH68]

Both did fly together and it was a fantastic sight as well...not to mention sound...a most enjoyable day yesterday.

Because I have only seen pics of them individually up to know! Not assuming the negative at all!
