you would be able to buy tickets on the day for sure but i think its worth trying to get an advance [discount] if yoy can .

I'm going to go if XH558 is displaying, otherwise it's a little too far for me.

Keep an eye on www.vulcantothesky.org but it's not looking too hopeful.....

XH558 seviceable
Aug 26, 2011 by Ian Homer. Posted to category: General

Tests complete
We are happy to report that all tests have been completed and XH558 is deemed serviceable at this time.

The usual caveats of weather and serviceability on the day remain, but we fully intend to make Dunsfold this weekend if possible.

Well done and much appreciation to the Engineering team in getting the aircraft to this point in such a short timescale.
woohoo

I'm there! I've been invited to run my beetle along the runway as part of the moving display! I can't wait! I'll probably be in the paddock most of the day so come and say hi if anyone is around!

Really enjoyed driving all the way in and then finding out they can't accept cards at the gate so had to drive back out kids in tow to find a cash machine... As we came back in there were literally 1 in 5 people having to do the same. Why they didn't think to at least put a notice right out on the front gate escapes me.

Other than that, great day out!

Good day out. Outside of the air displays (with the obvious absent Red Arrows, Vulcan) it was very expensive day for what what alot of trade stands that had to pay to be there and lots of car clubs providing displays, free of charge i would assume. Makes the Goodwood Events such as FOS and Revival, good value for money IMO.

That said, i would guess that the majority of the entrance free goes to Charity?

Lots of very disgruntled families at the ticket office when i was buying my ticket. Can't imagine why they didn't except cards in todays day and age.

I went yesterday with the family,a good day out,but very biased towards 'wings'.

I thought the car club displays were poor this year.

I went a few years ago and there were a lot more car clubs displaying then.

Where were the FOC or PCGB etc?

Didn't PH have a display in previous years?
