This still ongoing?

Yes, currently near Newport

Forgot about them. Seems one has been recently de-regd.

Full steam ahead with D-Day anniversary being the main theme, announced today. So maybe (hopefully) a little different. “As we do each year, we have put in bids for flights to make up our usual stellar display line-up, and we expect to announce these in the coming months. While the Red Arrows always...

Yeah, nahh... It's in Sweden that immediate weekend.

Probably worth skipping the announcements and pasting in the line up from the last 2 years!

Though, credit where credits due they've not gone crazy and cancelled purely on the basis of the reds. (Seems ridiculous!)

This year's show is 22-23 August with the usual twilight show on the Thursday. Positive news on it future as "Tendring District Council have also agreed to run the annual event up to and including 2027 during a meeting on January 25. The decision does not mean that the Airshow will end in 2027 ...

Didn't even realise there is a thread on here for this !
Has anyone got the F111 that came out not too long ago?

Now thats one I did cave in to!

Not had the chance to fly it much, though the brief time I have its been fun. Can't help but dump and burn!

I don't often fly airliners, but this ones been on my list since release.

Only so long before I cave in!

KC-135....?

Indeed, fantastic!

Mutterings of Team Raven being moved so an unannounced item can fit in. Pinch of salt with that one.

Anyone that was also here yesterday, have they just moved the display line closer. Certainly looks it.

Team Raven now displaying 12:20

Do they have commentary on the pier ???

Unfortunately not, at least not at the end.

The view of the Swordfish from the pier was impeccable

Bit of drizzle, if that. Cloud base is high.

Bronco has now arrived too.

Slight improvement weather wise. https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forec ... 33~Clacton

Pitts just landed
At least 3 ravens in
Both firebirds
Autogyro

Looking a tad breezy now too, which will certainly cancel a few items.

The main event car park located in West Road, CO15 1AG is provided by the Rotary Club of Clacton-on-Sea. The car park is around a 10 minute walk. An accessible shuttle service is provided to and from the main event site. Thursday 24th – open from 08.00 and close 1hr after the last evening flight. F...

Well, it doesn't look too bad during the show times anyway.. might be a bit wet first thing and thunderstorms in the evening.

It doesn't look terrible (depending on where you look). I guess that's the good thing of having display items there already, can be a whole lot more flexible.

Vampire did fly after its cancellation

Bronco
Staggerwing Pair
Slingsby Firefly
Hawker Fury ISS


Little samey but also now slightly different!

3 "new" additions

Jet Pitts
Strikemaster Pair

I've probably asked this last year and forgot the answer as I'm an aging old moaner but with Lakenheath and Mildenhall sending out planes mon-fri couldn't just give us a few flypast like they did a few years ago with 2 f15s.

You'd think they'd at least make an enquiry

Spitfire
Mustang
Swordfish
Wasp
