1ST & 2ND AUGUST 2015
This year is our 25th anniversary so we wanted to have a couple of special items.
On the Saturday, subject to satisfactory air tests, the skies over Ibsley will see the return of one of her own. Spitfire MkVC, EE602 was a "presentation Spit" bought by Uruguayan Railways staff and we know she operated from Ibsley, because she is pictured on the airfield being "presented" to 129 sqd on 31st May 1943. She went on to fly about a hundred missions before being damaged in a landing accident at Martlesham. Her remains were found in Australia! She will appear with an ME108. It will be marvelous to see her return. We hope to have a display about her history and restoration.
The show finale on the Sunday will see a battle from another war. In tribute to the 100th anniversary of WW1 we welcome the Great War Display Team. 2 SE5's, Fokker & Sopwith Triplanes, 2 Junkers CL1's and the BE2. The air battle will be supported by ground launched flak and bomb bursts.
Also in the line up are the Yakovlevs (both days), Lauren Richardson in her Pitts S2 (both days), Junmann & Tiger Moth Duo (Sat) and Piper Cub (both days).
Don't forget the fantastic line up of vintage civil & military vehicles, steam engines, stalls and bands.
South Gorley SP6 2PW, SP off the A338. Gates open 1030. North facing crowd line!
