I don’t have a problem with advanced ticket sales providing the venue states this at the start.
Old Warden was unfortunate in that they stated no admittance without a ticket after the venue had sold out.
I’m just glad that I purchased RIAT tickets this year!
But come come RIAT an admin fee for purchasing tickets that you print out at home?

Good point, at least the IWM send paper tickets.

In reference to Facebook comments / spotters groups etc……(.and apologies for thread drift) but some of the dumbest comments are to be found on aviation related Facebook pages.
For example I recall a dumbo last year on the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight FB page bemoaning the fact that there was no USAF participation including F111’s,F16’s ,F15’s etc etc. I used commendable restraint by politely suggesting that the poster had been on the moon since about 1992.
It’s a shame that many forums are being shunned in favour of Facebook groups.
Glad the Key Forums are going strong !

Don’t think you’ve lost your marbles completely yet, I believe it was definitely pushed back a week or so as not to clash…. with Goodwood if I recall?

Thanks for the reassurance,I normally check and double check theses things.
That said,I have to submit my holiday requests early Jan first come first served.
It’s likely the date change slipped by me after putting my dates in.

Another vote of thanks to Tangmere for his sensible and restrained post,as someone said not one of the Historic Forums finest threads and one which left a nasty taste in the mouth .
I hope the Sea Fury repair is progressing well .

So, is this the tool most forumites have on their list of things to bring to Legends next year?

Sorry,thought they were sprue cutters…….thought Airfix were planning a ‘make and take’

Lt George Green of the 4th FG landed and rescued his CO Maj Pierce McKennon. They left off their chutes and Green sat on his CO’s lap and flew them back to Debden sharing oxygen.
This was a P51D though, imagine shoe horning two into a Hurricane!

I think the problem is partly down to the fact that many of us airshow goers of a certain vintage were brought up with the likes of Roger Hoefling ( my personal fave at IAT’s and Air Fetes) but also John Blake and Stratton Richey.
In other words we were spoilt and enjoyed commentators who were original and had personality.

I don’t much care for Ben Dunnell, he is extremely knowledgeable and I enjoy his written articles but as a commentator he is safe, which if I was an organiser would be an admirable quality.
Out of the current crop I like Brendan O’Brien, yes he is sometimes corny and can trot out the same anecdotes but he is top of my list. He has a good partnership with Melvin Hiscock at Dunsfold Wings and Wheels.
Colin Wilsher and Tim Callaway were a good pairing too at Duxford.
As for Sean Maffett his best work was at RIAT.
