The first line up this season that looks like it justifies the higher prices this year

Latest news

We're looking ahead to our next air show on Saturday 18th June - our Military Evening Drive-in - where we're planning to have the Boeing B-17G 'Sally B' open the show alongside a pair of Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vs.

This will be an iconic formation commemorating the Memphis Belle, who had these Spitfire escorts - AR501 and EE602 - during the Second World War.

Sally B also played Memphis Belle in the film of the same name.

Tickets and full anticipated line-up can be found at: https://www.shuttleworth.org/product/militaryevening/

The weather forecast is not looking great frustratingly! Typical great weather leading up to it all week but rain forecast afternoon onwards. I'm holding off on getting a ticket depending on if the forecast improves

It's alright. You won't be able to see the planes anyway through all the tents and gazebos

It was a fantastic show despite the low temperature. The B17 with 2 Spitfires was magical. The Hurricanes were fantastic and the Mustang to finish was skillfully done under a menacing sky! I enjoyed this show much more than Cosford last week. Eek!

have to agree. i think we got much better weather than anticipated and it was really only at the end it suffered.
