For me it has to be when i visited Bruntingthorpe with my dad, must be about 5 years ago or so, just for a casual visit, and to our surprise Canberra WK163 was standing there on the runway about to take off! When she did she gave me and my dad an excellent display of several high speed low altitude passes, just above the deck! Not strictly an airshow but a very impressive site! My second most memorable one was the Coventry classics airshow back in 2003, was my first and so far only proper airshow, but also ended in sadness as the Spirit of St Louis replica crashed, i’ll never forget the horror of watching it take off, then the wing snap off the fuselage and watching the pain slowly spiral down, it didn’t seem real

Ouch, that would have been brilliant! Ah well, still looking forward to it being built, mostly to see the Twin Pin and Valiant

Very nice, she put on a great display, pretty much as good as the Mustang! Too bad my pics were awful.

Yeah it would be nice, but hopefully as shown in the latest Flypast mag the radar identifier models made of USSR aircraft should fill this gap.

Looks fantastic, might be going next weekend so i’ll get plenty of pics then.

I believe the Beaufighter won’t be worked on properly until the Sea Fury and Gladiator are done first. As for the ARCO Blenheim, anyone know what’s going on with what mark it will represent yet?

Sweet, maybe i’ll get a nice Hurricane of my own after all 😀 Apparently aircraft in the desert will be in a really good condition, my Uncle went to the North African desert a few years back and noted seeing a lot of Matilda tanks e.t.c lying in the desert, pretty much in the same condition as they were when they were knocked out, something about metal not rusting in the desert. Wouldn’t it be great to find a squadron of Me 110’s left in the Desert 😀

Moans: People are becoming ruder. Mrs Moggy is only a tad over five foot tall and spent the day being barged and shoved, particularly around the tat stalls.

And, having stood / walked for most of the day, when her back started to ache, we opted to sit on the chairs in the FlyPast enclosure for the finale. As it had rained a lot of the seats had puddles of water on them. She found one that was dryish, shortly after a fat beardy bloke who’d been off to the bog came back and told her to move off ‘his’ chair. One of nature’s gentlemen.

Pfft, didn’t you realise that under 18’s, females and elderly people have no interest whatsoever in aviation and therefore anyone that doesn’t fit into the category can push them out the way or do what they like :p Obviously i’m not referring to anyone here (that i know of) or the vast majority of people, but that’s the way i tend to great treated and see people treated by some idiots at airshows, it does my head in no end and ruins an otherwise good day for me.
