Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
They put on a very good display.
I am going to miss both Duxford's main shows this year but I am very tempted on this alone.

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
What a coup this would be if they pull it off!
Glad I have my tickets already.

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
Duxford seem very thin on RAF assets for this year's shows. No Reds, no Typhoon, no Chinook. Still, at least the Tutor will be at the June airshow!

They seem very thin on assets full stop from where I'm looking.

it does seem to be a slim year so far. the june show is doing nothing for me at the momentSmog Monster wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022, 2:14 pmThey seem very thin on assets full stop from where I'm looking.
i suspect more home based planes will fly as part of the shows, but i wonder if they are waiting for the "early bird tickets" to end before making any big announcements?
Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
Why would they do that? The point of early bird tickets is to entice people to commit early thus ensuring the event will be profitable before they commit to big expenses. If they would rather people paid full price they wouldn't offer early bird prices in the first place.rockfordstone wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022, 2:46 pmit does seem to be a slim year so far. the june show is doing nothing for me at the momentSmog Monster wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022, 2:14 pmThey seem very thin on assets full stop from where I'm looking.

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
The show just seems a bit flat there’s nice items but not enough to justify the cost and travel at the moment so looks like I may just do the Battle of Britain show this season unless some big announcements are made. I doubt they will as duxford have basically recycled last years line up so far

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
I disagree about the recycle from last year. There are 9 displays confirmed that were not part of the Summer show last year.
Autogyro
Vampires
Mig 15
Stichting Fokker Four
RAF Grob Tutor
Black Cats Helicopter Display Team
Rich Goodwin
BBMF Lancaster
RAF Falcons.
With an NH90 self confirm.
I do agree the line-up is a bit tame and I won't be going this year either. I've chosen Cosford the week before and will be going to Duxfords 8th & 9th October shows instead.

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
I remember in 2020, when they had the Belgian F16, Czech Gripen and Swiss Hornet (IIRC) booked in! Such a shame, but understandable given the circumstances at the time!

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
Don’t get me wrong the aircraft going are nice but I’m seeing a lot of them at shows in the weeks before and the price is much less. Duxfords my favourite venue and I just think that for me personally there is too many display teams for my liking

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
I don't suppose anyone has a spare childs ticket for todays flying day ?
Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
First time this Sunday at Duxford for a flying day. What’s the setup of the day..
Is there any ground activities or traders?
Do they do the tank demos in the day?
Is the the flying display usually accurate to what’s on the website?
Sorry for the questions but also my 2yr olds first time at a display and very worth it as a member with free entry.

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
The Flying Days are perfect for small kids. I take my 4 year old regularly. There is normally some kids activities (build an aircraft, face painting etc), most of the airliners are normally open - which is my kid’s favourite - tank rides, some static aircraft you can get up close to etc. The flying list is normally fairly accurate - sometimes there are a few substitutions or additions. The length of the flying display is perfect for the attention span of my kid!
2024 shows: Abingdon, Cosford, Sywell, RIAT, Zeltweg with a couple of Duxford and Shutteworth shows thrown into the mix.
Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
Thank you!
Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
Don't forget a raincoat, brolly & towel. (latter not for sitting-on!)
Hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look great for us? Forecast is

Re: Duxford Airshows 2022
It is, which is one reason why I am going to Old Warden. At least there one is only a few metres from the shelter of the car if the weather does strike....
nothing is confirmed at a show until its u/c hits the tarmac or it is running in for its display.....
