Always been a good event, worth travelling from my times at St Mawgan, especially for the entry fee... :whistle:
Critically observing Pension regulatory activity... :D

Certainly worth a visit in my experience; spent several days there in 1965, which was excellent. This year was very good but in a different way.
Definitely planning to be there in 2016, inshallah.
Even happy to pay slightly more to allow for special people to attend free ;) RM!

A very well organised and top class Airshow. Excellent photo opportunities and lots of them. Seemingly endless access to the Helicopter maintenance hangars. Great Air Display. If you get the opportunity to go, its well worth the money.

Cheers

I'm hoping that with the Yorkshire Airfest now only being the 1 day and confirmed the Swedish Historic Flight they have shared the cost with Yeovilton as I'm on holiday down that way so would be a good chance of getting to see them.

In other news (from their twitter feed) Corsair will be flying with the SeaFire
