Re: Sywell Airshow 2024

Hello
Does anybody know what the photographic conditions are like during the showdays? Is it like Duxford, sun in front of the crowd line?
Are there some special spots for taking pictures?

I am thinking of going to the show, but I've never been to Sywell before. So all info is welcome.

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread

D-Day Squadron 2024 Legacy Tour
has RIAT on its timeline.
Would be nice to see a line-up of DC-3 from the US and Europe.


Will RIAT be doing something to remember the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings?

Duxford membership

I haven't found anything about the duration of a Duxford membership. Maybe someone can help me?

Is an anual membership for a calender year?
Or does a membership start on the moment of payment and then for the period of a year?

All info is appreciated.

Duxford flying finale

Does anybody know what the parking arrangements will be for next weekend show?
Parking on the north side only, like last year? Or will the parking at the land warfare hall also be available?

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2023 - 16th & 17th September

It has been a while since I have been to Duxford; so I have a few questions. Does anybody know whether the parking at the Land Warfare Hall will be avaible on the showdays? Is the tank bank accessible as a place to take pictures? Is the full fence line up to the tankride zone available to sit along?...

Just a concern I have concerning the scanners used at the security check.
Do these scanners have an effect on digital camera's, memory cards, batteries?

Re: Duxford Summer Air Show 2023 - 24th & 25th June

I have to agree with the above. I used to all Duxford shows, but now come only over from Belgium for the BoB show. It has become to expensive. Not only the tickets, but also if you want something to eat or drink. And yes everthing has become more expensive over the last year, but Duxford has increas...

Re: Duxford Flying Finale Saturday 8th October

I believe gates for parking on the North side for most visitors won't be open before 8.30. The museum opens at 10.00 as normal unless parking gets congested. Not sure about traders, but there will be some exhibitors, e.g. the Blenheim Society. VECTOR FINE ARTS PRINTS will also be present, they ment...

Re: Duxford Flying Finale Saturday 8th October

As it is not an airshow and not a flying day, I still have a few questions, maybe someone knows something:
no traders, but will there be food stalls?
will there be a flight line walk?
will classic wings be offering flights?

thanks for all info.

Re: Duxford Flying Finale Saturday 8th October

As this is now being labelled as an 'airshow' do you think there will be any traders in attendance? Be nice to have one last spend before the display season closes down 😁 Duxford are calling it a Flying Finale, not an 'airshow', and as the doors open at 10am and numbers are limited it's more like a...
