Re: IWM Premium Membership - No tickets for Air Festival?
The information that I was given originally by IWM was incorrect as has been pointed out. I had a phone call yesterday from the ticket help line that I'd previously left a voice mail for, and their explanation for the difference in price was because the Flying legends is organised by the Fighter Col...

Re: IWM Premium Membership - No tickets for Air Festival?
I tried to book yesterday and found the same problem too. After ringing the IWM I was told that the tickets for this event were being dealt with by a separate ticket provider called Universe on 0844 453 9077. Having spoken to them I have now managed to get my tickets via e mail and a pdf to print t...

Re: IWM Membership Scheme
My wife and I will be joining the new scheme (premium package), as we regularly visit DX on non-airshow days and usually do all three airshows if the weather permits. I did write to IWM to express our dissatisfaction with their decision to scrap FoD as a separate entity, but when large organisations...

Re: Duxford September Airshow 2016- 10th and 11th September
The only suggestion that might make a difference is a temporary closure of the westbound A505 (no traffic from the M11 roundabout) from say 1630 to 1830. At least cars exiting DX (only allowed to turn left, of course, from the main site) will be unhindered by traffic control during peak movement of ...

Re: Wings and Wheels - 4th Sept
What on earth are "Little and Large"? G-Force Aerobatics - Full size Extra 300 displaying with a 41% scale model of an Extra 300. Very novel and well received by the crowd. m A good day yesterday, well done OW for putting on something for everyone, shame it was so chilly under the cloudy ...

Re: Flying Legends 2016
Went to Legends on the Sunday and all in all had a good day. Arrived at 0930 with entrance and surrounding roads totally devoid of cars, so an easy drive in to the site. Leaving at the end of the day (1900ish) was also easy and we just drove straight out. Definitely far fewer in attendance again and...

Re: Fly Navy Day - 5th June 2016
We hadn't been to OW for an airshow since early last year, so we were wondering what we were going to find. We needn't have worried. Perfect weather always helps, (not for the Edwardians, this time though) and we agreed that OW's unique atmosphere hadn't been diluted at all. We arrived at 0945 and d...

Re: Advance Ticket Sales Good idea or not?
I don't like the idea of having advance tickets for regular Duxford airshows, but can see the merit of it when a 'spectacular' is planned to avoid chaos. However, we have what IWM has given us, and their £ takings will tell them if it's a success or otherwise. One thing I really can't fathom is why ...

Re: American Air Show 28-29 May
Just a few bullet points from me Advance ticketing for 'regular events' is unnecessary and is a shot in the foot for IWM - fair enough for shows with high profile acts, nobody wants to see the traffic chaos and 'punch ups' reported at park and ride last time. Why were on-line tickets unavailable aft...
