Question?

One question on my lips. How far and how long before the runways are finished, and Waddington is returned to full active duty?.

I know it's on obvious answer but now the work had been extended should we expect a definite no to Waddington Airshow 2016?

I have just been reading a thread on MSF which basically says there will not be anymore shows at Waddington, but the RAF /MOD are currently carrying out a survey with a view to moving the show to Scampton in 2017.reason quoted for the no show at Waddington are the usual security /access concerns

Exactly as Paul said.
It dates from 1998 and was how we communicated before the first generation of FC appeared on the scene :clap:
