Just a quick question regarding tickets for FL, which I’ve had the immense pleasure of attending twice.
We are considering making a last-minute cross-Channel dash to be able to attend on the Sunday.
As this was not planned earlier becasue of other plans on Saturday, we did not get tickets on-line.
We’ll probably arrive from Belgium around 11 at the earliest: would there be a risk that the event is sold out at this point? or will there still be a few tickets left at the entrance?
I’m hoping the trusty FL “veterans” can shed some light on the matter.
Thanks a lot!

Never been an issue showing up at the gates at 09:00 and getting in. I never pre-ordered tickets (except Gold Pass) and I’ve been there since 2005.

As a little sidenote, my book Viking Spitfire will be for sale at Legends. There won’t be any signing session or anything like that before September, but I’m told the book is there so grab a copy if you can. If you want it signed, I’m usually around the Tank Bank area. Bring a pen though, I’m hopeless with pens (but slightly better than Ashley Cole). Ha-ha.

The book isn’t the regular run of the mill heres-the-cold-facts type of thing, but even hardcores will get a kick out of it – if not just for the pictures not previously published in the UK.

Speaking of winds this weekend; there might be some.

The May 2011 show at DX was held in horrible wind conditions.

Wot D-FUKK!

Ok, the jokes can run all day.

Lovely looking aeroplane!!

I heard the P-38 had to abort some of it’s display in Norway due to a small tech issue. Looks to be fine now though.

I go to an air show because it’s an air show. Not because of what will or will not be there.

I go on night photo shoots because they are at night. Not because of what will or will not be there to photograph in the dark.

I go to a museum because it’s a museum. Not because of what is or isn’t on display there.

Am I in the minority here? 😀

Exceptional rational thinking

Seriously though, I agree with the initial posters sentiment. I love Legends but certainly don’t go every year. I also agree that (serviceability and availability issues aside) a more detailed advance listing of participants would be useful, especially for those of us who need to make travel plans to get there in the first place (yes, I don’t drive)… and get home too…

Cheers

I fly two hours to get to Legends (ground transportation not counted in) and I have never put a question mark on participants. I also make travel plans 5 months in advance. :dev2:

Yes John Larcombe, poor chap. There was also a different Wildcat with them in the very early 80’s!

Just curious, Jane Larcombe at The Fighter Collection, any connection to John Larcombe? Daughter perhaps?
