My attendance will depend on the weather. My uncle will be going as part of his job offering a contest during the show. And my dad might be down that weekend. If he is i will be going rain or shine if its raining and he isn't here i wont be as i dont want to be standing around waiting for that contest to finish.

If you want a GREAT Airshow then this is the one for you. Been too this one several times , even Stevie Wonder would enjoy it. At last years show there were Two GR7 Harrier Jump Jets putting a joint display on together , it was worth going just to see these perform.
Get there if you possibly can.

Last year the Typhoon was still being operated under "Case White" under BAE Systems (although flown by RAF Aircrew).

This year however, the aircraft is operating as a fully released military aircraft operated by the RAF, so shall be the first full RAF display by the Typhoon...
