Bournemouth Air Festival

[Sir Bagalot]

This weekend.

Tickets for HMS Monmouth went in 10 mins this morning, I just missed them!

New safety rules this year following Shoreham. Boats have to be 300M further back so that's going to make a difference to them.

Anyone have a timetable?

[SpikeBmth]

I managed to get a ship ticket after many years trying, seems sold out within about 2min.

It may be worth turning up on the pier at the times the shuttle boat leaves, as sometimes people don't make it and there are spaces.

Hopefully I'll get a detailed timetable again this year, if so I'll post it up.

[Sir Bagalot]

Are the tickets free? I was thinking of just turning up and maybe someone is a no-show or has a spare. What times are the shuttles?

Do you know if Red Arrows are based out of the local Airport this year?

Handy as I'm taking the boat to the IOW tomorrow from Poole, it's always a good show from the sea.

[wilfandrowlf]

Thanks for the timetable guys.
I'm supposed to be mooring offshore in my brother in laws' boat to watch the displays.
Let's hope for good weather!

You might be disappointed with the weather, particularly on Saturday.

[Sir Bagalot]

Thanks for the RA timetable. Can't see much flying Saturday and unfortunately this year I'll only be there Sat/Sun. Should be there by 9pm Friday for Fireworks

[Ki3r]

I never knew there was so much going on!

[Bill]

The Red Arrows were superb today, seemed just to keep on going. Possibly because they finished the afternoon show.

[catfood12]

Well the traffic in the Wessex Way heading west at the St Pauls Roundabout flows much better with cones in the middle of the lanes to stop the undecided or aggressive fro swapping lanes close to the roundabout, or going up the inside (turn left) filter lane and pushing in to carry straight on.

Shame about the weather, great lunch buffet at the Cumberland yesterday, then outside at £PM sharp for the rest of the afternoon. Great spot on the East Cliff, looking horizontally straight at the helicopters during their display.
