No Red Arrows at Marham Families Day Thought it was unlikely with Lowestoft and Eastbourne also on the same day. Red Arrows Schedule

I'm hoping it will be stationed at Marham. But according to the Vulcan website its just a display at 15:50l

[crashman]

so if i turn up around 15.30 i might see it display and land ?

As you may all know there will be no Hawk display for the rest of the season! but a demo in the display Hawk will take its place, which is said to look better

Hey mate

You do a grand job keeping the enthusiasts up to date here, on UKAR and via your website. My thought is that you should continue doing just that. These are after all not airshows for the general public, something which many people won't understand if you start a Facebook group, no matter how many times you tell them!

As they are private events I'm not sure a FB group is really appropriate to be honest and if you stick to the forums you are at least informing people who know what the deal is with these events. Informing more and more people could open a can of worms and I reckon it's best left to the stations themselves to inform the local residents of any noise increases etc.



Cheers

One more 'big' families day left of the 2010 season, which is RAF Cottesmore families day on the 17th Spetember. Good line up with the possible additons of the Red Arrows, Vulcan and team Viper!

This maybe the last families day at Cottesmore , but we may be lucky enough to get another year!

Who is planning to watch the displays from the outside or inside?

Thanks, Cott09
