Re: Eastbourne 22
Unlikely, but seeing as Bournemouth were able to get the Draken a few years back, it'd be great if Eastbourne could do the same. Probably won't be able to justify the cost.

Re: Eastbourne 22
Didn’t know there was a Tempest 2 flying????
Re: Eastbourne 22
Bit optimistic perhaps considering it hasn't even flown yet, if they pull it of will be one of the highlights of the season.

Re: Eastbourne 22
Seems to me that somebody is definitely 'pulling it off' in one respect or another!
Re: Eastbourne 22
If that can be achieved in the timeframe, that'll be one hell coup! When was the last time a Hawker Tempest displayed at an airshow in the UK? The 1950's?
Re: Eastbourne 22
Later than that, as in the 70’s/80’s LA607 was on the scene ^ not sure if it displayed or if it was mostly static!
Re: Eastbourne 22
I meant specifically displayed at an airshow, in the flying display not on static. I believe LA607 was engine ran at Duxford a number of times and did a fast taxi in the 80s but didn’t specially fly in the display.
Re: Eastbourne 22
I know hence why I said I wasn't sure if it displayed

Re: Eastbourne 22
After going to Bournemouth last year and being very disappointed at the spectator experience (south facing, glare, mist, distance) is Eastbourne any better.

Re: Eastbourne 22
You're looking south east rather than south, so the light is a bit better later on. Bournemouth at least has a bit of elevation, Eastbourne doesn't, and Beachy Head isn't worth visiting any more from what I can gather.tankbuster wrote: ↑Fri 08 Jul 2022, 7:30 pmAfter going to Bournemouth last year and being very disappointed at the spectator experience (south facing, glare, mist, distance) is Eastbourne any better.

Ok. Was quoted as someone seeing it at Duxford from a Facebook group of course hardly the most reliable source.

Re: Eastbourne 22
That's a good line up considering, i don't usually do seaside shows but i think i will make an exception for this. Fingers crossed for the Tempest.

Train strike announced for the Saturday
Re: Eastbourne 22
Wondering where the Tempest and othe warbirds might be flying from. I live close to Shoreham so just wondering.

Re: Eastbourne 22
According to flighlineUK the Tempest has been replaced with the P-47 which will fly FRI/SAT/SUN
Re: Eastbourne 22
In the past the warbirds operated from Shoreham i'd imagine a similar arrangment this year, unsure about wether the P-47 would though.

Re: Eastbourne 22
The P-47 was unserviceable and missed Old Buckenham at the weekend
Re: Eastbourne 22
To no-ones surprise, tempest cancelled replaced by P47 thunderbolt
