Is it new?

Looks like the Vulcan may attend, although not on Vulcan to the Sky webpage.

Might attend depending on when child 2 decides to drop (due Sept 11th).

Did know about this. Used to go to the Church Fenton show every year as a kid. Will almost definitely go, especially as it'll probably be my last chance ever of seeing a flying Vulcan.

I'll be there.

As above, I used to go as a kid, I remember watching from the car because we couldn't get in, and also being terrified by a low hovering Harrier one year.

Whilst this is nowhere on the scale of the old shows or RIAT etc, it still looks good.

Also, the Vulcan's last public flight I believe.

It's gonna be in July next year too. Was all a bit short notice this year as the owner of Leeds East Airport (RAF Church Fenton as was), Only bought the place at Xmas, and didn't start planning this years event until July. Knowing the owner I expect next year to be even better, and should be able to iron out the wrinkles which came to light at this years event.

Would be worth visiting Sunderland to see how they organise an airshow with more visitors and free access.

I don't think anyone could complain if they knew that. That's an incredible achievement.

Thank much appreciated! Think it appeals to the 7 year old in us all! Though leaving the doors up and buggering off may not have been my best idea rolleyes Hopefully see you there next year.
