Re: East Fortune Airshow 2018
Best line-up at East Fortune that I can remember for quite some time. Very much looking forward to this one.
...and yes, if it could not hose it down in a torrential downpour for the entire afternoon, well, that would be delightful.

No official timing but it tends to be last on doesn't it? (When the weather has turned for the worse!)

Can you enlighten us with what's arrived at Edinburgh please?
Good luck with the show tomorrow, sadly the weather forecast looks dreadful.

Checked Met Office. Yesterday it had forecast Thunder for 1pm on Saturday, but now it's saying it will rain, very good visibility, but no Thunder.
