So they're not even going to be new builds? Brilliant.

snookered coming from the South West. Should have gone for later in July.

M5, M42, M6, A14, A43 Surely!

Not from where I'm coming, the M5 isn't an option.

Well I was originally quite keen on the idea of Legends at Sywell. But if its on GP weekend then, like GeeRam, I'm snookered coming from the South West. Should have gone for later in July.

Thank goodness we have a new younger generation of thinking enthusiast - exemplified by Huw Hopkins - capable of appreciating what it REALLY takes to place flying vintage aeroplanes in front of the public. I’m afraid that staying home and dusting your die-cast models and slides just doesn’t compare...

Does anyone know the current status of the Lancaster? Is it airworthy? I seem to recall reading somewhere it had an issue a few weeks back?

OK, I'm confused... So if not the rule of 6, its going to be very difficult to follow social distancing rules surely..? 'with thousands expected'..... Don't get me wrong I really hope the event happens,( we need something positive at the moment, lets face it) but I can't see why others cancel their...

NYK and Rapide MM? Am I missing something, what are they, and the NYK must be so interesting it's listed twice?

On the whole a little bit underwhelming if that's the final list, but still potentially worth the trip for the DH84 which I've yet to see.

Rapide MM, would it be Mark Millers example?

Just bought two tickets for Sunday. Never been to Headcorn before so I have no idea of what to expect but I'm looking forward to it.

Demon dropped out.

It's interesting that IWM seems to want a slot that regularly clashes with the biggest airshow in Europe. Flying Legends could always hold its own against RIAT, but could a generic airshow?

Still loving this theme! Excellent work as usual.

Announced today as cancelled.

Classed as a key worker by the MoD so still working but on shorter shifts. Girlfriend works in a veterinary practice so she's still working too but with minimal staff and only accepting emergencies.

Not as a Mk.I.

That Mosquito and Blenhiem picture! Wow!

They're still practicing, certainly as of last Friday.

Bournemouth Aviation Museum to be closed from Thursday 19th March.

American author, classic car collector and shipwreck hunter Clive Cussler, aged 88.

Imagine the horrendous journey that the ground support would have to make every weekend if RAFAT based out of Valley.

A Danish Challenger ferried the Circus team part of the way home from Greenland.

Both the DH9 and Ultimate Fighters have also appeared elsewhere since so I'm unsure as to why their debut at Duxford is such a big thing. The DH9 in itself should be worthy of inclusion but not because it debuted at Duxford. As for the Ultimate Fighters, four types that have all been seen before (OK...

No issues at all with the directors creating a new franchise about a different 00 agent, and a cross over with James Bond/007 is, I think, a good way to do it. If however the idea is to turn James Bond/agent 007 into a something he's not that's where people will have problems. James Bond is 007. Eve...

Shuttleworth still stands out for me as the king of the airshow circuit. I managed three shows there this year, in June, July and August. In terms of favourite UK airshow I couldn't point to just one, but my top airshow moments of 2019 would be : Mosquito / Lancaster dual taxi at East Kirkby Spanish...

Latest weather forecast is the worst ever! Surprised it's not cancelled, as they can't charge if nothing flies surely? Of course they can using the caveat "serviceability and weather permitting", like any other airshow. Besides, there is more to the event than just the flying. Unless Shut...

Great show, great content as usual. Buses worked well getting in and out of the airfield but then it all fell apart. It took an hour to get away from car park B. A let down after such a brilliant day.
