Hi all,

The date for the next Abingdon Air show has been announced as Sunday 6th May 2018. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but I think that on the gate prices will be £20 each. It's a good little show. Apparently they are addressing the problems they had this year with traffic management.

Good news, I will be very happy to go again, thoroughly enjoyed last time. If they offer advance tickets please get one for me.

Tickets are available to purchase online. Adult tickets are £15 plus £1.50 booking fee. There are also OAP tickets at £10 plus £1.00 booking fee. I checked with the organiser, an OAP is anyone 60+ :yipee:

Advance ticket holders will have a seperate entrance which should reduce queuing.

After last year's access problems this year was very much better organised and the weather was hot and sunny which made for a very pleasant day out. My OAP ticket cost all of £11.50 which somehow allowed the organisers to put on a busy 3 hour+ flying display plus plenty of arrivals in the morning and departures after the main event. There was plenty of non-flying entertainment too.

The last item of the day was seven WWI replica aircraft in a melee which I have seen before so I left a few minutes before the end but the car parking was so well organised it wouldn't have mattered.

A very good family day out.
