Letting people who read this forum know about, because I have a hunch they might be interested in aviation and therefore consider attending. Sorry if it wasn't obvious.
Fair enough, but I just have a dislike for posts that consist of a link and nothing else. Especially as it’s ’just another air show’ really. (I have a lot of time for the Shuttleworth collection, so was hoping for an interesting post!)

Well I could have said 'Hey come to the Shuttleworth show!' but it wouldn't have added anything. The info is the title. But if it had been 'Hey look at this' then I'd agree.I saw an episode of Warbird Workshop last night on More 4 featuring Shuttleworth and the Mk V Spitfire. I really liked the attitude of the staff and engineers, not famous but obviously highly competent, just getting on quietly with stuff like high tech 'men in sheds'. No corporate nonsense.

Thanks Simpo – that show wasn't on my radar. My daughter has thoughtlessly arranged her wedding on the same weekend as the Sywell show, but now I can go to this one instead. 
I remember your battle against the sun; must have been nearly 20 years ago. Has the tan worn off yet? 
I spotted this when looking into what airshows were on this year, but so far can find very little about what's going to be displaying.
...so it all feels very "sign up and see", which I've little time for. By all means run an airshow. But tell us what's going to be there first.
PS - am going to Sywell, probably both days...looks like a cracking event this year, albeit I'm not sure how easy the photography is going to be.

If you're on FB you can see the second post down at https://www.facebook.com/Shuttleworthtrust - the Arrows, and some good photos....so it all feels very "sign up and see", which I've little time for. By all means run an airshow. But tell us what's going to be there first.

I guess they don't know the others yet.
