My local show is beginning to look good.

Looking good!

Not sure what an Antanov is though.

Pretty sure that page has been created by a 5-year-old. Confirmed flights? Does that mean people get flights in them? I think "displays" is the word they're looking for.

Antanov? Try Antonov
Stamp? That'll be a Stampe

My post on the 28th was cut and pasted direct off the Weston Air Festival site, which I believe is promoted and run by North Somerset Council, so please forward any complaints about misspellings and grammatical errors direct to them.
