Boxted Airshow this w/e
Anybody else going, apart from FormationChippy/Formationfoto and myself?
Spitfires, Chipmunk formation team, RV4, Harvard, Mustang, Denny Dobson one day, Turbs the next and an old bloke in a Pitts :O Stik |
I can't find any info on Boxted strip itself. How long, alignment etc. Any clues. The web-site doesn't seem to show it.
|
from memory, it's about 800 metres long - smooth level grass.
about 1/2 mile n w of the A12 next to Colchester Stik |
Thanks Stik, hopefully I can join you in the Airtourer.
|
What is the latest arrival time by air?

Sorry chaps, I'm just one of the acts - don't know anything about the management of the event.
Try Peter W (the strawb farmer on the Sainsbury/Tesco advert) on 0773 1949410 Stik |
Aeroplane booked, good wx ordered, see you there :)

I wanted to go and rang the number given and got a PPR Slot and Number but the lad who I spoke to seemed to be from a Work Experience Scheme! I forgot to ask the frequency and thought ..""well I will call again on Saturday morning".
Saturday came, got prepared with passenger (disabled) and constantly rang the two numbers given on the flyer....Answering machines only..(same as last year I am now told). So re-read the flyer...No frequencies, No runway alignement, No circuit direction, No lat/long, No declared distances... Cancelled the trip. What a pity. UV |
Don't know which flyer you saw, UV, but the one I got had maps, two working numbers - all you need!
As it happens, I tried knowing the vis was not going to nice all the way. As it happened I got as far as Sheppy and couldn't see more than a few miles - so I turned back and went for a local. Shame, but best err on the side of caution I think. tKF |
The weather was fantastic today and a thoroughly good day out it was with some fantastic displays - not least from Stik, whose lovely red and white Pitts looked fantastic in the late summer sun.
Great day out. |
Went on Saturday. Viz was a bit short but followed the A12 there and back so no problem.
The final approach was a bit interesting but nothing a Cub couldn't handle... Lovely displays - well done all. |
Thank you JAFO, I had fun!
Stik |
Fantastic pictures, I sat there naming them all off and only got 3/4 right! Need to brush up on the old recognition skills... at least I'd make a terrible spotter.
Beautiful Pitts Stik! And that Ban-Bi..... *drool* Confab :ok: |
