Farnborough 2018 Participants

I am surprised no one has mentioned this bi annual air show, [unless I missed it] probably the most famous of them all in the UK and looking at the list there is a fair quantity of warbirds and historic participants, both jet and propeller with a nice mix of civilian and military examples.
I dare say there will be many more [un listed at present] that will be displayed around the show ground and in tents like previous years.
Available information on of this show seems to be poor this year and I dare say it will only get a brief mention on BBC/ITV South?.

After watching some of the 2016 show live via PlanesTV, the then new regulations post Shoreham seemed to make it not worth the bother!

I seem to recall that ‘display’ by Sally B was pretty much a circuit, and the Warbird displays seemed to be pushed even further away from the crowd than other airshows with the new and revised display lines.

And I have heard similar comments to HP111 as regard to the public ‘being an inconvenience’ which doesn’t bode well.

I think you have to ask yourself if it’s worth going (£42/£37 concessions) if things haven’t changed?

Cheers
