As I learned last year, theres no point in planning as It'll never go as you think.
I ended up going to old warden despite not planning to (I litterally woke up at 10am and said, F*k it I'm going)
And I planned for both fairford and Kemble and missed both.
I'm not sure where I will be in a few months so i cant plan.

Looking good Mic, hope to see you down here at Culdrose. :)
Hmmm.... I could stop in at Yeovilton on the way to OW...
Hopefully I'll get to Dawlish a little earlier this time. ::)

People travel from all over the world for that. I've never been although Goodwood is only a few miles away from where I'm sitting. It's a tad expensive for me these days & you have to book tickets well in advance.

Maybe so, for the other attractions (ie. the cars), but as an air display, it's not exactly much!

I see your point as it's not really an air show. It's an excellent event all the same & well worth travelling a couple of hundred miles for.
It won't be quite the same without Ray Hanna.

I have family up there so it's fairly cheap for me!
Plus, who knows, I might not go... just something I'd like to do at some point. 8-)

Not going to happen I'm afraid. :( Too hard for me to get around.
