Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Looks like it will become known as the 'Bournemouth Rain & Thunder Festival!'
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Friday afternoon/evening doesn't look to bad luckily!
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Local met says Friday will be the worst of the 4 days with rain most of the day,sometimes heavy. Saturday should be dry for the display times but rain either side of it and a risk of a shower during and also strong southerly winds all day. Thursday high cloud, occasional sun but dry all day, Sunday dry and reasonably sunny all day. NO thunder is forecast.
However, as with all forecasts this could change in a heartbeat and I take no responsibility when it does!
If anyone is coming down, pop into the centre of town and say hi. I will be on the Bournemouth Aviation Museum stand all 4 days, come rain and shine. We also have our Canberra nose down there to look at/in as well as a large stall selling lots of goodies. I'll be the one in some sort of heavy metal t-shirt!

Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
My main concern would be the wind for Saturday- looks pretty savage during the display window. I won't be expecting to see the BBMF/ Sally B/ B-25 that afternoon in all honesty.
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
The Lancaster flew over me in Northampton this afternoon, heading NE.
Was it running home to avoid tomorrows weather?

Hope not, due tomorrow!
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Indeed it was I'm afraid, no hangarage available to shelter from the next 2 days of crap weather. The Swordfish also went home straight after its display as it was due to depart after its slot Friday and that slot would not be happening and they didn't want to be stuck at Bournemouth until Sunday.Dan D'Air wrote:The Lancaster flew over me in Northampton this afternoon, heading NE.

Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
No Lanc or Swordfish for the rest of the show!?
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Swordfish was Thursday and Friday only, Lancaster may return Sunday of the weather goes to plan.

Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
That's a great shame! Worried about Saturday, Met seem to think that the wind won't be as bad as first thought!
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
On route now, traffic dodgy around Poole.
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Red Arrows just done a flat display, it's a bit breezy on the front but sunny.
Cheers

Still searching for the master shot.
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Good display this afternoon- especially considering the weather.
Nice flat display from the Red Arrows, and some lovely lighting when the sun broke through.

The Typhoon dusk display this evening was one of the best I've ever seen, superb!

Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
It was truly excellent!
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Couldn't agree more. The roar round the bay and the light from the burners was fantastic.
Re: Bournemouth Air Festival 2016
Nice firework display at 10 last night- ships out in the bay lit up like Xmas trees.
Sounds like things got pretty dicy with the wind and high tide though- concert was abandoned at 10.45 with reports of waves breaking over the fencing, and the concert has already been abandoned for tonight.
