Having seen his display today, the organisers should book Rich Goodwin's Muscle Biplane!! He's bonkers!

Oh, out of interest does anyone know why the Hurricane was put forward?

And I forgot to mention the cheers along the seafront when the sun shone after that heavy shower!

I was at the seafront today and enjoyed myself. Highlights were Rich Goodwin, Belgian F-16, Hurricane, Buchon & both solo Spitfires. Felt sorry for the MIG and Wingwalkers (even though I use them as my toilet break) since both scrubbed their displays half way through due to the unexpected rain! ...

Can't seem to find any mention of that on the shows FB page or website?

Flightline UK has them down as attending, they are normally realiable aren't they?

Not a bad line up actually! I look forward to going on the Saturday!

Ooh excellent!! Might consider going now!

Army Historic Flight saying they are attending Eastbourne with the Beaver and Scout; Thursday and Friday only.

Had a chat with ARCo yesterday and they have confirmed that the Buchon will keep the desert camo and smoke system and she will be using the smoke at Eastbourne, and eluded to her being shot down wherever she goes, when I mentioned a dogfight, suggesting she will indeed be in a dogfight reenactment ...

Loganair announced as a major sponsor, the tartan tailed SAAB 340 is announced as joining the flight display. Weirdly, that I actually want to see. Strangely so do I I'm the same as well! I'm still undecided about attending the show this year, didn't go last year (glad I didn't though). I'll wait f...

I can't attend the show this year Hope those who do enjoy themselves!!

I think marfo means Herne Bay as the same message is on that page. Anyone know what will come along from Shoreham this year?,presume the Sea Vixen will come from Yeovilton unless it is at Biggin or Brize as it is doing Herne Bay as well. John in Seaford Flightline UK says 'lighter displays' will go...

If they can display a Fouga Magister then more power to them! I would rather see a Fouga than the same line-up as last year; the Chippies and others were a little too sedate for my tastes. I'm not complaining if they do come however; it is all aircraft! Don't forget Alanko the Irish Historic Flight...

Last minute addition to today's line-up is a RAF Puma flypast. This will open the show at 2:30pm

Nice!

Isn't the same happening on Saturday too?

Either way, a great Addition!

Does this also mean the Hangar 11 Mustang is not attending?

Yes, excellent news about the Chinook

That recent update was a bit anti-climatic. Yes, we get the Lanc but I was hoping for something different.

Still, I hope they get a flypast (or two) by a B-52 or preferably a B1!

Sea Vixen has now appeared on the Sunday schedule on the airshow's flying schedule page!

Shame it is not attending on Saturday, as that is the only day I can attend!

From the FIA Facebook Page.

Some new additions to the weekend flying display; Antonov AN178 (SAT Only) and Starduster (SAT & SUN).

Beech 18 and Nanchang CJ-6A duo added to the flying!

Nice! Lets hope they spell it correctly when it is announced! (It is Nanchang not Nanchung!)

Also, some more aircraft are due to be announced at lunchtime today according to the Facebook and twitter pages. Teasers on the facebook page show it could be the Nanchangs and possibly a Beech 18.
