It really is great value for money.
John | Thank you John!
Just canīt wait to be there, leaving tomorrow!!!

| To all those that are going tomorrow I wish you luck with the weather which is light showers, which in UK terms means that you might get lucky.
The forcast for today was Heavy showers and its been dry so far but getting a little dark.
At least one B17 should be flying tomorrow, assuming the one that just flew over my house is still operational. | |

Country:  | Can anyone confirm the dates for the 2009 Flying Ledgends Airshow. Cannot see anytihng on the website. Is it always the second weekend in July??? Am planning a 6 week holiday sometime in July in England & parts of Europe and while I am there I don't want to miss it. Want to arrange flights and plan my holiday around that date. Also are there any other airshows around that time in the UK and maybe Europe???
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS: Ideas for accomodation etc..would be be helpful....also things for the wife to see while I am at the show...she cannot stand planes, but she is very understanding | |

Country: | Super stuff Herman
Dropped Seesul off at the airport about 3 hours ago so he should be airborne by now.
I have not had time to start going through many pictures but heres a couple for now.
Dispite some cloudy weather and rain showers attendance on both days was good although today saw a bigger crowd than Saturday.
Visability was very good but the cloud base on Saturday came down to 2000ft at one point so restricted some manouvers however today it was at 4-5000ft so a full display could take place.
