We went today as planned... Great day out! (Despite the sun burn, lol).
We sat between the piers and had an amazing view, I cannot get over how loud the Vulcan is when turning, and how loud the Eurofighter is constantly, scared the hell out of our youngest.
Loads of video/photos and really enjoyed what is our first air festival, will definately do it again next year!
It was a shame that the Red Arrows couldn't complete their second half due to the low cloud and turning weather, was really good to see them in action for at least a little while though.
The timetable was almost spot on and it really helped in keeping our eyes in the sky at the right time, cheers for that.

Thanks to my Fathers apartment being positioned in the middle of the flight line I get a great view ( except that of the beach assault ) I went last year and this and I thought last years show was a lot better.
Saturdays time table was completely off it felt disjointed. Saying that the displays were excellent, Yakolevs, Red Arrows and the awesome Blades were as good as ever, seeing Vulcan fly was a sheer delight.
Fantastic as a free airshow but very glad I didn't have to be a sardine down on the cliffs and beach but still say last years event was superior.

Disagree with you there flower, I thought this years event was far superior to last year.
Many more interesting types this year including the F86 Sabre, Vampire, Hunter, B17 Sally B, P40 Kittyhawk and the Spitfire/Mustang pair.
Oh, and even the Vulcan turned up 3 times on demand!
To me the airshow was much better this year, and so was the weather!

You only saw more types if you could watch the show everyday and most don't get that chance, last year you saw more aircraft on the Saturday and Sunday shows than this year. Not saying it was bad but was no way as good as last years but each to their own.
