Jambo, I doubt half the people on here know what BoB stands for.

When was it supposed to be? What happened?

This weekend sat 10th and sun 11th.

Battle of britaint memorial flight.

Got there just as the air show was to start, but lo and behold weather just got worse and worse, visability was cack. Cloud level 600ft at its highest


So the spits just taxi'd around the airfiled waving, and that was it



A chinook did a display that was enbtertaining and very impressive, but it was not the sound of 6+ merlins thundering past


Cost £46 as well, i understand its too dangerous to display when weather is so bad, they could of at least just flown one even if it didnt do any "stunts" as such.



Good day tho, saw lots of veterens, waved and cheered as whole crowds stood up and clapped as they did a drive by, made me cry

no 4x RR Conway driven from the 70's/80's. was the mainstay of BOACs long range capability for many years
