No May show either, not very inspiring to me.

Re: Duxford dates 2023
Those dates are for air show not flying days.
Re: Duxford dates 2023
Hold on, I thought the finale wasn't an airshow
Re: Duxford dates 2023
Yes, your right and I now realise that there was no July show this year either, but there was last year, my mistake.
I wonder why they dropped the May airshow date, (after the ill fated 2020 season)? Always a well attended event, from what I recall.
All very strange.
Re: Duxford dates 2023
May 2023 is too tight a window of opportunity for IWM Duxford to get their together on the raft of organisational issues they have!
Re: Duxford dates 2023
The last few May shows seemed to alternate between really good lineups and seaside-level efforts (including 2020 shaping up to be a cracker before it was cancelled). Hoping this has carried over to the June shows and we get a good show in 2023. Failing that, I'll probably just be doing BoB again.

Re: Duxford dates 2023
Leaves a yawning gap in July. I wonder what they could put in it....?

A long time to wait for any major airshow in 2023. The season gets shorter and shorter.FarnboroJohn wrote: βTue 11 Oct 2022, 10:12 amLeaves a yawning gap in July. I wonder what they could put in it....?

Re: Duxford dates 2023
I was at the last May show in 2019 and it was fantastic. 2x Special scheme F15s, Typhoon, 2x Strikemasters, Provost and Britling Jet Team made a great line up of jets and Chinook, Blades, Apache, Wingwalkers and a nice mixture of Warbirds really made a great show.
Bader's Bus Company was also a lovely display. Not the most flamboyant of displays but a very touching one showing how they over-came adversity to fly display aircraft.

Re: Duxford dates 2023
From the IWM website the evening show and finale are not Air shows but "one day flying events" whatever they are!
Re: Duxford dates 2023
Basically they sit somewhere in the middle. They have more than the couple of hours flying you'd get on a Flying Day, but not the full 5-6 hours you'd get at an Air Show (although the Flying Finale this year was somewhat of an exception in regards to flying display length).

Re: Duxford dates 2023
indeed. The air shows at Duxford are normally 4ish hours, 5 at most (if you include the landings at the end and take off to hold at the beginning)IP1960 wrote: βMon 07 Nov 2022, 9:44 pmNot sure we get 5-6 hours anywhere anymore except RIAT!shorsley wrote: βWed 26 Oct 2022, 10:44 amBasically they sit somewhere in the middle.

Re: Duxford dates 2023
The first two clash with Old Warden airshows, although I suspect that the Duxford Flying Days tend to attract a largely different demographic.
Being on a Friday, dare we hope for a couple of F-35 flybys for the American-themed one?

Re: Duxford dates 2023
Are the Fridays before a show weekend still a normal day with no different ticket needed?
