I remember when we did this the first time; there was a massive attendance. Unfortunatly, due to sim problems, no one knew i was there, leading to the cancellation of the show. We did it a week later and got a few people but not nearly as many as would have come. So if anyone wants to do this again, tell me here.

Great Smiley

I always thought that Duxford would be a appropriate place for the show...

I went to the Duxford warbirds show a few years ago exactly like what were trying to recreate, like last time with the fly out at the end...

there also is some great scenery for Duxford around airshow season...

Make sure it's on a Saturday so it does not clash with the other Sunday events and you can count me in. I love Duxford but it is a tad on the shot side runway wise. Better at a military base like Waddington or Coningsby.

I've given it a lot of thought (OK, I've not really Wink) and I shall be displaying in the Supermarine Spitful Grin

If there is time I shall also display the Spitfire MkXII that I flew in the last SimV airshow.
