…The RAF VC-10 is making its last public appearance and on Monday will depart for St.Athan to be scrapped 🙁
What a shame. Pity it couldn’t go to Brunty instead.
Is that a possible four ship Hunter flying display then?
Just received confirmation that Bruntingthorpe will open its doors to the public for an ‘in-steam’ open day on Sunday, August 28th.
Come feel the noise!!! 😎
Pardon, what did you say?
Lightings! 😀
One confirmed act please any Hunters flying? :diablo:
The NOTAM lists her but who knows…
Think it states 16 (4×4) F15’s and 2xP51 and single B17
The Sally B website lists her as
30 Mon Madingley – US Military Cemetery Memorial flypast at 1200
But who knows…
Point your browsers here for the trailer…

The scene is in…
Thank you everyone for posting the images.
Did the Sea Fury display on the Sunday?
The show was really influenced by the very strong winds. Credit to those who flew today, as it was far from ideal for flying.
Superb flying today, many thanks to those concerned.
I rather enjoyed the mini-Legends at the end, who were piloting the Spitfire trio and the Hurricanes?
Is there still a possibility that the Sea Fury (and the Sea Hawk?) will be there tomorrow (weather permitting)?
Check out the cheap entry cost too.
While on a railtour in the south-east I came across a scrap yard full of Phantom II’s. I would be interested to know where this was and to see some photos.
Such a shame to see the destruction of yet another historic site. Would “they” be allowed to build on the site of the Battle of Hastings?
I have fond memories of the Great Warbirds Airdisplays at West Malling. Always a fine mixture of aircraft.
My “local” is North Weald and I will do what I can to save it for the future.
Are those C-54s being left to rot outside North Weald? They’ve not moved for at least 18 months. A shocking waste!
Great photos.
Shame the C-54’s could not have some TLC from time to time.
The odd engine run-up, tires kicked etc. The Perspex covered up.
They would be worth more.
Hope they don’t end up like the B-25…
In no particular order…
F-105D Thunderchief
F-4E Phantom II
Hawker Hunter
MIG 15
A-10 Thunderbolt II
Mostly from the USA I know but if I were allowed another five.
Sea Vixen
EE Lightning
Sea Hawk
Vampire
Venom
Channel 4 this morning had a programme about the air racing championships from Kemble.Hungary and Reno. I didn’t realise it was on…l.
Waited ages to see another programme on “Normal” TV about air-racing and I missed it! 😡
Please run it again Channel 4.
To those who are attending have a great day. I’m off to get some sleep now.
😀
Early start…
Absolutely marvellous shots!
Yes, shame we can’t post video.
