Scampton Airshow for 2017?

Yep fair comment plough. Although no harm in dreaming I guess.

….. Please please please invite the Swedish Airforce Historic Flight. Saab 105, Tunnen, Draken and Viggen :).

From what has been said, it sounds as though the intention is for it to begin as a smaller, more low key event, and gradually build it up into something more substantial as the years progress, so I wouldn’t get too carried away with the wishlist for next year :).

I imagine that as the original team that managed the Waddo show was disbanded, and the RAF Charitable Trust team that run RIAT already have their hands full, they will have to put together a new management team for Scampton. Presumably they won’t want the new team to try and run before they can to walk.

just the most excellent news. well done to all who have made this come to life so far. I for one will be dusting down the tent and reserving that weekend in 2017. :applause:

Good news indeed. I’m guessing the Lanc and Red Arrows will be a given to display. But can I make a suggestion to anyone looking for a headline airshow act to attend….. Please please please invite the Swedish Airforce Historic Flight. Saab 105, Tunnen, Draken and Viggen :).

Apparently now confirmed by the RAF Charitable Trust for Sept 9 & 10th 2017: http://www.lincolnshireecho.co.uk/RAF-Scampton-host-new-annual-airshow-2017/story-29325199-detail/story.html.

Sadly planned for what is the busiest period of the year for me (and a good many others who I know are airshow fans), so I doubt very much if I will ever get to see it (unless it is a wet day!).

Lets hope its a full weekend again… easier to get to as well.

That is some pleasantly surprising news.
