Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2022 - 10th & 11th September

So it seems most on this forum are 100% in agreement the show should happen (unsurprising given its a site for airshows I guess). I take it these same people are highly critical of NI Airshow, Abingdon, and virtually every sporting fixture this weekend including all tiers of every football league a...

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread

For someone whos never been to RIAT before and interested in going next year - Would you say getting a ticket for one of the areas that have these grandstands a must or can you still mostly enjoy the show by standing/using your own camping chairs? Would be taking a camera to get some photos of the ...

I would love to see them bring their F86 Sabre over as part of the HF.
Is there not a Sabre flying in Europe now? That would be nice for a solo display or static at least.
There's a French one (mistral warbirds). Yet to see it . Was listed at Air legends but couldn't make it

A10 tops it for me. Was expecting Raptor/Lightning and P51 heritage flight.
Never had the pleasure of an A10 demo.

Re: Flying Legends to cease at Duxford

I would be interested to know how much revenue the shows generate and where they hope to cover the shortfall from. I also thought the museum and shows were a good combo.

Hopefully a new home is found quickly
