Superb update John, I hope the move goes well and great to see the two items on regular display, hopefully I will get up there soon for a mooch.

Tickets still need to be purchase pre airshow and of course the separate car park ticket you then need to print said tickets to show upon entry.

I went this year VIP i think it was 150 quid all in, a great view but my days of airshows is probably over due to the fact that tins or bottles of water 2.50 each, burgers needing mortgages and a friend bought two curries and 6 cans of coke was  55 quid I think.

the good thing with the VIP tix was it took 4 minutes to get out of the car park!

How sad, good no injuries and they are going to repair it

A great summing up of the event PS. I went and yes  a great warbird weekend. easy in at 8am and a very quick out at 18.15 which a big hats off to that organisation of parking. Hats off to IWM for not cancelling I do feel a slight over reaction and as you have stated if you did not feel you could attend after the passing of Her Majesty it would be your decision as per the Bank Holiday 19th September 22 for the funeral

HM GOV Statement

“This bank holiday will operate in the same way as other bank holidays, and there is no statutory entitlement to time off. Employers may include bank holidays as part of a worker’s leave entitlement.”

To be honest the only thing I think spoils Airshows not is the price of a can of drink,  Duxford water, Coke etc £2.50 a can or bottle, I take my own not because I am tight but because it is way too much it must of cost some families a small fortune. and I cannot be bothered to queue up for 30 minutes.

All in all a good show
