Bournemouth airshow

Bournemouth Echo is reporting that the Vulcan is booked to fly at the airshow on sat 30th august.

Guys if the weather is anything like the last few weeks you will be lucky to get anything and the August forecast is for much of the same. 2008 has been a wash out.

I hope the Lynx will turn up..................

Check your e-mails. What a servant of air shows throughout the UK these splendid aircraft have been.

Good times

The airshow was pretty placid on Thursday with only the Eurofighter Typhoon making a big racket and the Falcon's parachute team cloudbased out.

Liked all the displays though, down the beach between the two piers. The Lancaster was probably the best received flight, local demographics and all!

Friday better with the Rarrers, Gnat, Vixen and more - weekend weather forecast a lot better if you're going.

I thought the airshow was dreadfully disappointing on the Friday. Nice to be able to sit on a very nice beach at an airshow, but I was very disappointed the Vulcan was not going to appear that day, and the BBMF didn't attend due to breakdown. The rest of the show was very 'thin'. I thought the display line was held much too far out, and you were always looking into sun so photographing the aeroplanes was hopeless as you could only see the shaded side- all the pictures were mainly silhouettes. Moving the sun the other side, and allow the display line to cross the piers and be closer to the beach and it would be a good start!

moving the sun

Easy, but the piers NO way....

Move Bournemouth to a north facing coast instead?

We were there for the Saturday and got the lot, a very fine day all round.
