Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2022 - 10th & 11th September
I will be surprised if many of the usual traders will be at Duxford's BOB show. We were long time traders there and spoke to a few at Capel Military Show last week and a lot of the regulars have abandoned Duxford because of the regime in place now. Aces High Gallery, Aces High Collectibles, The Boo...

Re: Abingdon Air and Country Show 10th September 2022
Did i see elsewhere that the Sea King has been withdrawn due to cost? Yes correct - i cancelled its appearance as it was too much in the end unfortunetly for one helicopter (though i understand about prices have gone up rapidly in a year due to various factors ie aviation fuel etc).

Re: XH135 Canberra PR9 to move?
From the linked page, "The disposal of XH135 at Kemble is a given, it cannot be kept at Kemble. It must go no later than June 2022" This is disappointing - I was hoping Kemble might evolve into a broader collection of historic aircraft, in some way a successor to Bruntingthorpe. Does it r...

Re: Abingdon Air(show) & Country Show 2021
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...
