80s and 90s for me. Quality and variety the like of which we won't see again.

Did not get to a show this year. Odd feeling really. First shows were Air Fetes mid 80s. Let's hope some can take place next year, chances look better than they did 6 months ago.

I fully agree that the govt set small lockdowns really only for the purpose of keeping spirits of the public higher. After all, if the first lockdown was 3 months why suddenly is this new one just one? They don't know of course. No-one does. 2 Dec is more palatable that's all. As for airshows, I too...

Has he given up on the military side of things after being investigated For what? i believe some of the authorities at Lakenheath/Mildenhall had issues with him using his camera to get over the fence and taking video of personnel working on the aircraft etc. Using his camera to get over the fence? ...

Technically showcase days are not airshows although they effectively are!

Yes me too

And so ends a very curious airshow season. Oh well, let us hope May 2021 brings better news for us all.

Do we think the grass strip will get waterlogged? Could the event get cancelled? Also think the cars might be bogged down...

With acts like BOB, seems like an airshow by stealth!

By that logic they would surely cancel race day too?

Very wise call not to risk the rare DH birds in this wind!

Could be one of those days of 2 halves weather wise today, don't write it off too fast, we have all seen them in the past. Wind speeds look a bit lively though.

No doubt there will be mutiny if they try to confiscate picnics!

This seems badly worded, I would guess they don't want people bringing alcohol rather than food, that does sound totally odd

Let's hope it does happen but it is still a way off and we know lots can happen very quickly with the virus situation

Why? Look at the situation, it is changing every day. By next weekend things may be very different to today...

Hmm have my doubts this will go ahead

So I'm to blame. Oh thanks. All I was saying was the facts.

So you know for a fact he was never given key worker status?

We had the discussions in June and ended it there looking at the thread, believe it was AndyXH558 who resurrected the sniping which I feel is a bit unfair, so I replied, no big deal. As stated, this forum needs all the arguing/any comments at all it can muster at the moment, perhaps this should be t...

Struggling to decide whether to go to the next show, caught between two stools you could say.

And here we go again with the insults of Gerry. Anyone bringing aviation to thousands of viewers is ok by me, and if you hate his content don't watch. He is a personality and as a broadcaster is head and shoulders above any other aviation channel streaming from airports and bases. He makes the strea...

I guess it will take some time for this event to bedding. No more jokes please guys, you have all had me in stitches...

Mods - 'thread drift' !

Agree. Credit to Duxford for trying, but the OW model of drive in was always a better bet. Conventional shows just will not happen this year imho, sadly Headcorn included (and I was tempted by that)
