Is there any news on the Bournemouth Airshow yet, due to take place the end of August?
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Have not seen any posted, being late August, if we come out of the virus fight as they are planning,
Then small chance it could take place still.
Just wait and see on this one,

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
With the news the Great Dorset Steam Fair has been canceled which was going to be held 27th -31st Aug it isn't looking good for Bournemouth for this year.
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
The steam fair does take a lot of planning and infrastructure to set up.
The seaside shows are not that complex, not saying they are easy btw.
Will depend on how the social distance rules plan out, if the beaches around the UK are opened
In a month or 2, they could be a chance.
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
According to a phone conversation I had last week end Dorset Steam Fair were still taking bookings, so the cancellations was quite a decisive quick decision, which still makes me wonder about Bournemouth. It's not just the actual air display but all the other things like trade stands, amusements etc. I don't know if there any road closures put in place for the event , but they can't be organised last minute.
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
I think if you ask yourself the question 'will it be possible to hold an event that attracts thousands of visitors from all over the country to a crowded seafront, and maintain social distancing at the same time'?, you have your answer. I wouldn't make any plans if I were you.
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
An announcement this morning by BCP Council this morning they have decided with regret to cancel all outside events untill after the end of August, which unfortunately will include Bournemouth Air festival 2020.
I think 2020 is going to be a bare year all together, roll on 2021.

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Just read a report in the Daily Echo a Bournemouth based paper of plans for a climate friendly car race around Bournemouth are being drawn up. It goes on to say "the idea has been revived at the time of a growing debate about the future of the air festival and its sustainability at a time of climate emergency" Could this be the end of Bournemouth Airshow. Has anybody else read or heard anything about this.

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
From the same paper today:
"SUGGESTIONS of a Green Grand Prix on the streets of Bournemouth have been welcomed by residents and a town centre councillor – although it appears there is no appetite for the event to replace the air festival. "

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Lightning my old friend? I think going down for the carrier has affected your thought process! Typhoon all four days though

Re: Bournemouth Airshow schedule?
I am thinking of going down on Thursday, does anyone have any idea of timings for the displays for the main and sunset shows e.g. 2-5pm then 7-8pm
Would be helpful for me to plan my transport options

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Just wondered if anyone knows when the Typhoon is expected to arrive at Hurn, and if it will be based North or South side? That is assuming it is operating from Hurn! Many thanks in advance.
Re: Bournemouth Airshow
As far as I know, the Lancaster is still at Duxford ? Any idea if it's coming to Bournemouth straight from there, or is it more likely a no-show ?

Re: Bournemouth Airshow
Thursday late am. I can't give you the parking details but it will be access to authorised personnel only
