I'm going too.Can't wait!We're going Saturday and Sunday,and back again for departures.We've rented a cottage for the week,so the wife can sit there with the dog and relax,whilst I take my boys to the airshow.

Good luck with that. Is the cottage close to the airbase?

I live a few miles from Fairford, and wont be doing the show, but plan to ride down on my mountain bike to watch the planes fly in during the week in the evenings.

biggrin You have a point! It's near Down Ampney.Bear in mind though,her idea of relaxation is probably just not having us lot around!

That's a good idea. I am dragging the wife along, and we don't have a dog yet, but next year - maybe!

We are going on Sunday, really looking forward to it - so much to see. I'm more of a WW1 - WW2 era fan but can't wait to see Vulcan, Harriers, F22, Eurofighter ... etc.
