Good to see the a few regulars returning! However the lack of Tiffie again is a little off putting for me atm...

Looking good already, I'm sure they'll add more !

Might be the first year I've actually missed this, hoping to make it down on the Friday !

Tornado's back again, however 'it' was disappointing last year. Only one display and that was a singleton on the Sunday which cut short his display.
The demo didn't seem to work very well over water imo. Much better at Yeovilton with the two ship and all the pyro going off. Shouldn't grumble too much though, all jet noise is welcome.

I expect we'll also see the Sea Vixen and possibly the Gnat from DS Aviation added, maybe a Hunter and the Vulcan will probably be booked too if they can get the sponsors.

The Red Arrows return will be poignant, let's hope for the weather and a safe show for everyone this year.

Catalina Added for sat/sun. http://www.airshows.org.uk/2012/airshow ... eview.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Sally -B has not been confirmed either by the flying display organisers or on the Sally-B website (note it is not in bold nor has (C) by Bournemouth!)

I see, thanks for correcting!

Vulcan now listed for the Sunday.

That ruins my plans! Doh!

Why?

I was planning to do thursday-saturday! So switch to either fri-sun or do all 4 and take the costs!?

Well every other year they've found extra sponsorship later to include a Saturday display too.

i wouldn't be at all surprised if that doesn't happen again, especially if Shoreham has the Vulcan on the Saturday as well.

Hope your right! At least doing all 4 days theres a chance at least one of them wont get rained off again!
