Hi Garry
I still have Oct 5th pencilled in but I'm not sure I'll be going. We'll see how bored I get in the meantime ;-) Tks for the HU on the Vulcan. That may just sway my decision

First year of operation and I've still not seen it!

Get yourself to Old Warden Dave - there hopefully (To be confirmed!) will be a sight not seen since the 1940s; two airworthy Gloster Gladiators together!
The entrance fee would make up for my enforced non-attendance too!
Shameless plug, but hey :flying: :fart:

Sadly I'd love to be, but the lords and masters are sending me a few thousand miles away for a few weeks!

Thanks for the info, Garry. The Vulcan was the main reason I was going to go...I still might, but its less likely now. Like Dave, I'll see how bored I am.

Maybe check mid week to be sure, but there seems little hope at the moment

Yes.. it's a case of 'do I fly to New York or go to Old Warden.. New York as it's cheaper'!
Two Gladiators would be nice and I can only imagine the sound

It's quite remarkable but the Gladiators Mercury sounds
so smooth.. the only thing that'd come close to hearing 2 in close formation would be IT and the Blenheim seen some years back

Never been to Old Warden either (the price has always put me off and it's a fudgin' long way to go) but.. you never know ;-)
Garry..
You popped in there as I'd posted so I ended up nowhere

Useful though all the same. I've made a mental decision NOT to make an effort to go and see it. If it turns up 'scheduled' at a show I go to.. then fair enough. I'm not gonna travel the globe anymore. Still have 9 years airframe life to go ;-)

I'd have thought it was closer to you than Duxford Dave? Only just up beyond Letchworth on the A1.

You'll go there, fall in love with the place, join the SVAS (sorry, shameless plug again), and then never pay more than £10 to get into one of their aishows again, and never pay to get into the collection on non flying days!
