Would be worth going to this just for the rare opportunity of seeing two Lancasters in the air together

Sadly all airshows in recent years have lacked very much modern fast jet participation due to defence cuts and foreign commitments

Thanks for posting Jeff.

.....Because our council insist on hosting the Airshow on a Thursday and Friday us council tax paying working types never really get to see it
I shall try and get a few photos from work as the planes fly overhead but it's not the best of vantage points

It drives me bonkers why our Airshow is on Thursday and Friday ( always has been ) as those that help pay for it never get to see the bloomin thing as we are at work

To add insult to injury, we then get caught in all the traffic when we leave work to go home
Not that I'm bitter about it you understand

No doubt we will have some fun fighting the traffic to get home as well
Last year it took around 30 minutes to get from the shop to home
Such fun

I would have done as well but I have brought my camera gear to see if I can grab a few shots from work.
Won't be great from that vantage point but I'll give it a go
