It’s very much the same show stoppers however it is reported that the organisers are working on three additional and special inclusions to the above list. They usually manage to bring something different each year, which have included B52, SU27 and Dewoitine in the past.
This is all coupled together by a commentary second to none.

And there is still that commentary, an event not to be missed on it’s own.

I can’t comment on the commentary but Mike and the team always try to pull out something special. Even if you only had the most basic airshow, the whole atmosphere of the show over St Aubin’s Bay makes it special.
I might consider going this year!

A nice selection. Hopefully the weather will be kind this year.
Hadn’t they announced last year that they’d booked the Vulcan for this year’s show? Whatever happened to that………..? :p
Mike you sceptic, there are still 20 days to go and they’ve got the under cart fitted and ………..!
