IWM have posted a new list. The only difference I can see is that the Sabre is no longer on the list.

IWM Web

Brian

It's still on their website as attending.

[Pen Pusher]

Where in the participation list, link in post above, and the web site as I've just had a look does it say that?

Brian

[Dragon Rapide]

I think it is this which is being referred to http://www.goldenappleoperations.org/calendar2012.aspx

[Pen Pusher]

At the bottom of their list it says correct at 23 Apr and the IWM list says 27 Apr.

Note the training day says 'March TBC' and it's nearly the start of May and it still hasn't flown. A clue there as to why it might not be flying at the first air show.

[Dragon Rapide]

Yes, indeed - I was not quarrelling with the likely accuracy of the IWM list, which I have always found very good, but pointing out where the poster had got his information from. Clearly a bit of website updating from Golden Apple is required. I hope the delay in the schedule is not a bad augury - I always enjoy the F86.

Between 30-45 minutes I believe roughly.

James

[Dragon Rapide]

By car no more than half-an-hour. The flight times will not be published until just before the event or an the day.

[DaveBr]

According to ARCo newsletter which arrived this morning, F-86A currently has no engine - it's gone to California for inspection and repair.
Expected flying again in June.

It might be worth contacting the organisors as it states on the aircraft participation PDF on their website that last entry is 12:00.

[Pen Pusher]

Last entry for the flight line walk is 12.00, not entry to Duxford.

Sorry! I completely misunderstood the context.

Thanks, is that with traffic?

[Dragon Rapide]

Well it's 29 miles so 30 mins but traffic is totally unpredictable so it is impossilbe to say. On an average Sunday in May it shouldn't take much longer but as for access to the show and queueing for entry I do not know....others here may have better information but as an early arrivee I never know what it is like later on.
