Roulettes will certainly be appearing both days at Amberley.
Due to transit / turnaround times they did ask to drop the Scone show, but they have been directed to appear.
Seems Bendo has friends in high places!

Either way, no matter which one you go to, the Roulettes will be there...

And BTW, apologies to all that are annoyed about the price of admission to Amberley. Please understand that those of us at the coal face have nothing to do with it.

LJR was spot on when he said that the taxpayers already fund the air force - why should they have to fork out more to see us fly?
Unfortunately, as ftrplt said, Air Shows Down Under have their paws all over it. From what I've seen, the RAAF is providing the vast bulk of the labour (crowd control, parking police, ATC, crash recovery standby, the bulk of the flying displays - you name it) but has very little control over the actual running of the event.
I'd say that ASDU has better contract lawyers than us.....

Also, is there still a push for a mini Prune-bash at Amberley? Everyone seems to have gone a bit quiet on that front......

Cheers,

SW
