Greetings Sywell Fans –
The next Sywell Airshow will be on the 3rd September 2006 and is to be a biannular event – for those of you who have visited the airfield this year you will be able to see a considerable amount of earthworks at the end of the runway, the strip is being levelled and will not have settled in time for a show this year -plus there is loads of new stuff going on, buildings etc so we cant squeeze the show in this year –
BUT there will be a spangly Summer Ball on the 16th July to compensate!
So keep your diary clear for next year!
Cheers all
BTW thanks to all who attended the Museum opening on Sat, we think you’re spiffing.
TTFN

… if push comes to shove i think it will only be fitting to have “SUSY” over “JANIE”!!!
Bah humbug……

The T9 Finger Four Formation sounds good to me especially as Duxford have turned there nose up at it – however the question of funding does come to mind.
There maybe a fifth T9 around but at the moment that is still a while off.
Meanwhile I just hope that the CAA’s “plans” for (substantial) increased costs for airshows are reconsidered as they stand a fair chance, along with Insurance costs of wiping out such shows as this one.

Hi Texan,
Whats the news on the concrete runway, or are the locals and Northants Council still playing silly buggers?

Ben i think some WW1 types could be a distink possibility!! As for Tr9s, we were at one point due to have two last year, however carolyns engine went sick and then AH went sick!!! hence last minute “Janie” And im sorry but if push comes to shove i think it will only be fitting to have “SUSY” over “JANIE”!
On a practical note, all these are great idea’s but we have to Fund it!!! so any potential sponsa’s send this way!!

Four Tr.9s, good call Robbo (I had reckoned on the same theme as a good idea for ‘Legends’ a while ago), thinking forward to 2006, might there be another two seater airborne?
By: TEXANTOMCAT - 30th March 2005 at 18:06
Nice thought and quite do-able…….thanks Robbo – keep em coming…

Oh yes, how about a few Yak 11’s?????????
By: Yak 11 Fan - 30th March 2005 at 14:02
How about a nice blue and yellow 450 Stearman, the old girl needs to get out a bit more….
By: TEXANTOMCAT - 30th March 2005 at 13:58
I would think a certain Ms Janie will be asked to present herself…..:D
in fact – on that point does anyone have any suggestions (sensible please, Douglas Bader in a Red Bull Stirling, sadly wont be acheivable) or a ‘Wish List’ of what they would like to see?
I think maybe some WW1 types – Bodd are ya listening….!?

Why is everything on the same weekend this year…..
Looking forward to Sywell in 2006, will you book everybody’s favorite Mustang this time or wait until the last possible second again??????
