Does anybody know what time this is planned to start, and when it should finish? According to the AIC the last arrival time for people flying in is one hour before the display starts; I want to see if flying in is going to be a sensible idea.
Many thanks,
M

Airbedane,
Thanks for that extra information — yes, it’s going to make things rather tricky. It sounds like flying in isn’t the best idea for this show … I’ll bring the car instead!
See you there. All the best,
M

Met24,
You’ll need to talk to us if you want to fly in on the 11th – there’s an aeromodelling event on all weekend and the airfield will be closed until 1430 approx on Saturday and from 0900 until 1700 on Sunday. ALso, the show may over-run, and departure Saturday evening cannot be counted on – although we do offer a discount on accommodation for those aircrew stuck overnight.

16:30 rings a bell. Wheres Fergy when you need him??
Cant make the last one anyway.
Always late – thats where! 😉
You are correct in saying that flying is due to start at 4.30, but it is well worth speaking to the Shuttleworth Shop 01767 627288 or Grandad Biggles as there is an aeromodelling event on during the day as well. This could (will) affect flying in.

IIRC the display will finish a bit after 7pm so it may be a bit of a push. Unless you want an early start the following Sunday I would suggest you drive. (although I can recomment the Breathfast at Old Warden House….twice)
See you Sunday.

Thanks chaps. Some rearrangement on the flying club diaries means I’ve now got the plane for the whole day, so I can do the other stuff I had planned and still come along to the show. Still don’t know if I’ll be flying in. If the display’s likely to have finished by 7pm then I’ll probably fly in.
I’ll be along this Sunday as well … but I won’t be at Duxford either day. It’s a long story.

Ah ok, that’s that one sorted then. Cheers

No, it’s next Saturday, the 11th. There’s the Shuttleworth Pageant display this Sunday, which starts at 2pm.

Is the twilight display this Saturday???? If so there is an outside chance I may be able to make it to this one.
