RAF WADDINGTON - Airshow 2012 - general info

[youth]

No Vulcan, No B52 err can we have a B1B instead!

Advance tickets.
If you haven't bought advance tickets and are going, it's worth remembering that last year you could still buy them on the day before the show started. We bought ours at Morrisons (Tritton Road, I think) at about 1700hrs on the Friday.

Just ordered my tickets online.
I know it was late but was waiting as long as i could for the weather to pick which day....

Any idea on how long they take to be delivered?

I believe they say allow 3 days but having worked in the ticket office in the past I know they send them out asap normally the next day, but it will depend on how many orders have gone through as today is the last day for on line orders

Thanks mate, was slightly worried when they said allow 5 days for them to dispatch them.

[Mayfly]

That should read 'working' days by the way!

Ok people, here is the info I have been waiting for. The Wedgetail is confirmed as arriving Mon 25 not sure of time (am or pm), also on Mon the Saudi Hawks with a Herc will arrive in the morning. The Herc may do 2 trips to get stuff from Yeovilton. Late afternoon the Black Eagles should arrive from Leeming. The Black Eagles plan to fly sorties out of Waddington on Tue and Wed, probably around mid-day. They will fly a formation sortie followed by a singlteton.

Great! Thanks for the info, looks like monday will be a good day, I'm going down!

Anyone else looked at met check on the web, giving lots of rain for the Saturday! Blinking typical, best show in years and it could well be persisting it down on the day I have my ticket........if it were a computer program I'd say Summer has failed to load!!!!!

[POL]

Except Florennes.......

Thought they'd cancelled from there now as well? Unless the Belgians are paying for them?

Still at Florennes, this time its the Italians

[stealth117]

Just wondering, with RIAT being the week after Waddo does this mean that any Waddo items that are participating at RIAT will stay at Waddo through the week until Wednesday or Thursday instead of departing monday?

Any thoughts or info would be much appreciated
Martin

[Richard B]

Not sure about them departing, never been this close together before.
could be they depart Monday or Tuesday, if this means they all go to RIAT Monday or Tuesday is anyone's guess.

[stealth117]

Hi RichardB, just wondered what people thought would happen that was all. Just i can see some good stuff leaving later on in the week and i only have Thursday to Monday off work for the show. Also some good stuff is coming in earlier in the week this year so i will probably miss some good stuff completely

Martin

[Richard B]

Not sure Martin, will get some idea from what happens from Yeovil to Waddo.
Who as the budget to put up the crew and support will play a big part.
