Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2018
I heard that the IWM sold more premium member tickets than there were seats so my wife and I arrived earlier than we might normally for a Duxford event - no need to worry the rain kept people off the seats but out could not move in the members marque. As for the rest of the display: there were a num...

Family-friendly display
I have posed specific information about the Great Yarmouth 2018 display under seaside shows but in the press release the organiser (Ian Sheeley) says “You tend to find seafront crowds are more family-orientated, as the enthusiast will generally want to see the aircraft on the ground close-up, as wel...

Captured Aircraft in Horse Guards Parade
