Airbourne 2008 – Eastbourne Seafront, UK

For once some Blue Skies!!! The BAF F-16AM and C-130H were some nice surprise additions for the opening day of the four day festival.

Seems Eastbourne local authority has some pretty major financial difficulties at present, and made a loss of £360K on this year’s display.

It looks as though those £5’s on the beach would have come in handy!

What are the odds of a display in 2009?

I went on the Thursday and we had driven through some awfull weather on the way there but we got there and i came home with sun burn. So much for the bad rain. I agree the £5 made the main area very empty, the beaches from what i saw where very quiet.

I will get around to posting my photos sometime tomorrow.

Great Pics there from Beachy Head.

I went today and weather was scorching but now they are charging a £5 a head there was a distinct lack of people on the beach!

Will post some pics when I have sorted the wheat from the chaff!
