UKAR 'Top Ten Airshow Moments' 2012

[st24]

highlights what a great year 2012 was for the UK airshow scene.

It was wasn't it? It also underlines the nonsense spouted by many that the UK airshow scene was dead due to wars, cuts, recession, other events, over pricing, lack of interest by organisers, the "moaners" being negative and upsetting said organisers, lack of Vulcan, nothing available from abroad..... etc etc...

I'd like to think I played my part in re-inventing the UK airshow scene last year... You're welcome...

For me the Role demo Tornados stole the show most times, especially when seen from "beachy head" and more so from the "Naughty field"!!

Were any UKAR staff present at Eastbourne on the same day as the Vulcans appearance there?

I don't think so.

Thanks Dan, that would explain the lack of votes for what I would consider to be my highlight of the year.
