RAF WADDINGTON - Airshow 2012 - general info

[Mayfly]

I would think Waddington would want to get back to normal asap - I can't really see they would want to host participants for another venues airshow longer than necessary, if anything I would have thought it would be up to the next venue to accommodate them.

Hi

Does anyone know if the shuttle bus running on show days from Lincoln train station will also take fare paying passengers, I know it's free with a valid train ticket, I know they did last year.
Thanks
Mike

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!!!!!

Not according to accuweather,turning cloudy later in the afternoon.I'm trying to be optimistic ,see what happens on the day is my best forecast

Totaly agree we wont know what weathers going to do till morning of show!

[Chef_uk]

The thing in our favour is the temperature is above 19c which means any showers are just that and will die down as soon as they arrive (usually ). This time last week the outlook was awful. 7 days later and its much much better. I'd take what we have predicted now tbh after the atrocious 2012 Summer.

Will there be any crowd line, looking at this years site map its all enclosures from the left to center of the airfield.
does anyone have a site map from last year or the year before to compare?.

[Mayfly]

I don't think the map has changed and I can't pick out any new enclosures.

CANCELLATIONS- We are really very sorry to have to announce the witdrawl of both the Qatar Emiri Air Force C130J and C17 from the static display. This is due to fleet issues and heavy tasking, but the crews remain positive for their attendance in 2013. Also due to insurance and indemnity issues the Andover and Alpha Jet from Qinteiq have been removed from attendance as they have with Yeovilton and RIAT. It is a great shame and all the cancellations will be sorely missed from this years event. We are still trying to work on some late additions, but time is now getting very close!

Rubbish!!

I did think we had done well to get this close without mass cancelations!

[Richard B]

You always get cancellations at every show, come the last few days or week before and they start to drop.
you can see that RIAT as been hit with the same items and will also have drops outs in the next week, its perfectly normal.

until the wheels it the tarmac nothing is guaranteed.

Nicely put matey.

Nah , I'll settle for a bit of rain falling on my head than masonry or snakes any day !!

You seem to be forgetting about the famous Lincoln Earthquake of 2008!

[beefsteak]

Scrolling down that link has just struck a coard of terror through my bones. I've just booked a family holiday to the LLeyn Peninsular in August !!

I'll never get that sodding Andover. Perhaps I jinxed it by buying show tickets last night. Not been since 2003.

Hi does anyone know what time the Black Eagles departed waddington for their practise display today? It may give people a rough idea of timings for tomorrow. I had heard they had 3 display slots allocated at 10am 1pm and 3pm but I dont know if they stuck to these today.

Thanks in advance

Andy
