Hellooooo

I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the direction of a good airshow (old & new aircraft) not too far from berkshire (70 mile radius) in the next couple of months.

Thank you

There's also Farnborough in a couple of weeks. (Which I'm missing because it clashes with racing. irked )

There's more to Farnborough than a flying display. It's unlike any other type of show in the UK. I find chatting to the various stand personnel in the exhibition halls (which are huge) extremely enlightening.
