The flying display at the Royal International Air Tattoo 2016 featured one of the best line ups in recent years with plenty of fast jets including four Lockheed-Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons and Eurofighter Typhoons alongside the UK debut of the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Lightning II which fitted in well with the ‘Next Generation’ theme. I attended … More Royal International Air Tattoo 2016 Review
Another year and another airshow season over where I returned to the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight and the Clacton Airshow after the great times I had their last year as well as many of my regular shows such as the Abingdon Air & Country Show and the Royal International Air Tattoo. There have been … More Airshow Season 2015 Review
The Biggin Hill Festival of Flight only appeared on the airshow calendar last year and was back for 2015 with many improvements although the traffic management still needs some work. The Festival was one of the major events that would be commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain which is highly appropriate as … More Biggin Hill Festival of Flight 2015 Review
Another year and another airshow season over where I returned to the Abingdon Air & Country Show and the RAFA Shoreham Airshow after the great times I had their last year as well as my first trips to the Combined Ops and Clacton Airshow alongside a new event for 2014, the Biggin Hill Festival of … More Airshow Season 2014 Review

This year we have the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight which although not at the same scale as the shows of … More Biggin Hill Festival of Flight 2014 Review
Another year and another fantastic airshow season in which I have been able to attend nine different events all across the country including my first trips to the RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day and the Royal International Air Tattoo as well as the first time I would attend a show for the whole weekend which … More Airshow Season 2012 Review
Finally, we arrive once again to the last airshow of the 2012 season, and where else would be more appropriate than at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. For the final show of the year, there were surprisingly no international participants compared to other years. Several items leading up to the show were cancelled due … More Duxford Autumn Airshow 2012 Review
This year’s RNAS Yeovilton Air Day has been fraught with bad luck from the cancellations to the grey stormy weather. It was already obvious due to being unserviceable that the De Havilland DH.110 Sea Vixen FAW.2 and the Avro Vulcan B.2 would not be attending the show as a result from a crash landing and engine … More RNAS Yeovilton International Air Day 2012 Review
