Are you still going with the heli-meet and fly-in Neil, or are you back to a regular airshow? The idea will be a mini helimeet, but staying with a regular airshow as before ( the generalised fly in element as before). Who knows what i will have lined up for you over the coming months but it won't b...

Hi Rich, I have sent to you a PM , a couple of things that may interest the group. Kind regards.

We apart from one year have always been the first early May bank holiday. Its up to Shuttleworth if they choose that weekend (who put on multiple events per year). A bit of a silly comment. They've been holding Flying displays on the first Sunday of the month at Old Warden for well over 40 years. T...

Details are on our website m, and the admission prices are the same as 2018's so no changes. ......Bit of a typing error there Oldtower,the website should read m (you missed the "d" out from "and"....just helping make sure people know where to go for all the latest news as it ha...

Thanks for posting about our show at Abingdon - a long way to go yet naturally but you beat me to it posting up the first few items. All will be static too. RAF 47Sqn who supported us this year with a static C130 are hoping to support us again (this will be confirmed much closer to the event date if...

Just flagging this up as 'an employee' side of things - but the Revival festival is on. Some aircraft are due in, including Royal Navy Merlin, Gazelle, HAAF Auster, P51 Mustang and a pair of Fairchild Argus amongst some others,aswell as a ground show. More details on: w Any aircraft wishing to fly i...

The only highlights for me were Spanish Harrier, and a feisty F16 demo,which was the US West coast demo team, something that wasn't mentioned in the build up PR.
A shame a once great show has unfortunately declined.

Ok - my perspective as a fellow airshow organiser of some 19 years experience now (Abingdon) - I know Tom and I know some of the team at DBH, and I also know just how much work goes into trying to make a show work. I went on the Sunday and I enjoyed it personally, however, it is getting increasingly...

No arrivals Friday. Sat couple of rehearsals AM, about 15 Aircraft to arrive during the afternoon plus localised vintage gliding.

Static addition: Royal Air Force C130J Hercules, no.47 squadron, RAF Brize Norton.

I have to say last years 'recommended group' were not recommended by me to anyone else! Thats why we have split into two gates, one for advance which should see speedier entry / exiting, and cash on the day at Gate A. We have also got the original all adult company back in to collect the cash on the...

Quick Question - for advance ticket holders do they exit via Gate B and does this make for an easier exit from the show.
thanks
Frank

Frank - entry and exit is GATE B yes for advance ticketers.

sdad - we just like to confuse you!
