Let’s hope the a400m shows up, its an awesome machine. Last time we had a Luftwaffe aircraft was 2001 I believe. Typhoon model is better than nothing I guess? Can the Gripen E model be far behind?

DBH have also dumped the shuttle bus from Swindon to the Park and View enclosures on the arrivals days Phew good thing I went last year then. It’s an amazing show. Plus the two arrivals days mixed with display validations has to be some of the best of the year for aviation enthusiasts, with many ty...

Gerry Conley Vampire Airshow’s FB page says he’s also confirmed for London 2019

Perfect! I’ll be in Vegas over 19-2 exercise.

Now I just need a cactus costume so I can sneak closer to the action
