No ticket? You can pretty much forget it.

No, but having been at a seminar on the top floor of our lawyers' offices in Cambridge yesterday, it looks as though a C141 and the Airbus military transport (A400?) may be there, plus a European display team - all flew into Cambridge airport yesterday.

A C-141 would be highly unlikely, they were retired in 2006.

C-17 possibly?

Unless of course you simply...buy a ticket.

It's not that simple. You have to buy online, but there are tickets available. Don't forget to book a car pass too.

What’s complicated about buying a ticket online? Did it last year with no problem at all.

Some people do have a problem. Well done you, but many aren't as utterly gifted.

I’m glad the other 29,999 people who managed it for Flying Legends last year were at least as gifted as me.

I was very lucky actually

Went on Friday as I was off work, just to the museum, one of my favourite places though the big hangers need a bit of a shift change and sadly the place as full of kids.

But bonus was a couple of Spits doing stuff and a display from the Patrouille! No idea where they stayed, maybe Stansted?

But the display list was pretty poor for 35 odd quid if you ask me, but this is modern airshows sadly.

I was lucky, got my fix in the 80's and 90's!

Did Cold War Jets at Brunters too on Sunday, bloody awesome though not as good as usual due to shorter runway.

Patrouille may have been the team I saw flying into Cambridge on Thursday.
