According to another thread theres no Catalina at this years show.
I’m surprised its taken this long for it to appear at airshows, this sort of thing has been going on at live music gigs for years.
At certain shows I have seen camers cofiscated from people in the audience, however having said that its obviosly down to band management and not venue as Marlyin Mason bans all photography and yet Iron Maiden sell disposable caneras at there gigs!
Security is well screwed now though because of mobile phones:D

Thats good news indeed. I visited there in April and I thought it was a great museum, a bit shabby round the edges but great all the same! The main problem being the building itself certainly not the exibits. I for one will definatly be back when its done.

I overheard at the Duxford airshow that the Vulcan will only be at Waddington,Fairford and Farnborough this year.
don’t quote me though as it was overheard and might just be a rumor!
The last I heard the B-25 was sold to Paul Allen, but don’t quote me on that!

That will be good to see:D
Pity it means its getting ready to cross the pond though:(
The PC-12 is Steven Greys runaround!
[QUOTE=duxfordhawk;1246424]I am suprised to hear that as i thought most companies avoided showing the accidents on Video releases, Poor show on that company i think.
The video was the official airshow one and the crash is seperate from the full program and you are given a warning before it is shown.There is also room at the start and end so you can wipe it off without ruining the whole video.
I too have watched it as I was a witness to the event and it helped me understand what I saw, not too nice to watch though and I havn’t seen it for years, no wish to either.
When you have a large amount of aircraft acts based at the airfield what else do you expect? Its the start of the season and so I would imagine that there are still a few acts not yet available.
Its not just what they are flying its also how they are flown, who would have thought that a Dragon Rapide could put on such a good display(well I like it anyway).
I for one will be there and im already looking forward to it!

RIAT and Farnborough agreed dates about 2 or 3 years ago(might be longer), this was so they could share aircraft, both airshows released dates for the next few airshows years ago but im not sure where i saw them.

Hi
Thanks for the info and comments. I think that I will try a new format when I start at the shows in May.
The larger image is definatly the way to go!
Any more hints and tips are very welcome.

Hi Phill
Like the site although I could not click on any of the pictures to see bigger versions – not sure if this is my browser though – if not I think being able to see bigger versions (say 800 pixels at least) would add value! Some nice images!

Hi Andy
Glad like the site! Its not your browser, I havn’t worked out how to do that yet. I still have alot to learn as far as websites go:D .
I will look into it, but im also worried about my images being used without my consent as i have heard so many bad stories regarding this.
I think I have a looooong way to go match your site and the larger images certainly make a difference!
Phill
Thanks for the comments!
Yeah RIAT is on its way,should have some shots on by the end of the week.

Just noticed under the Waddington display on the 5th there is a “Vulcan Flypast” involving the Lancaster!
Well thats not on the official website so I would take that with a pinch of salt. They do have the Vulcan down but it is not confirmed. a Spitfire and Typhoon display is also listed.

RIAT dull? dont know how you work that out! I dont know any other show that have done some of the displays and formations that they have. This year looks to be corker as not only have they got the Brazilian team but also the Turkish Stars who are worth seeing just for the commentry! as well as the F-22 and dont think “well I can see that at farnborough” as its only there on the Monday!
As for endless KC 135s and Hercs well when was the last time you went? The days of these are long gone!
I love both shows but as I have bought a week ticket to RIAT my hands are tied, still at least i’ll get to see the lizzy:D
