Is anyone else forsaking the Amex tomorrow in the hope of seeing a Lanc (was meant to be two :down:) a tin triangle, a Typhoon and other assorted airborne machinery?

God no. I just hope the traffic getting past isn't too much of a ballache.

Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow and miss the game, but I have seen the 2 ship Lancaster formation with Spitfire and Hurricane 4 times so far, not including the Avro Day which was superb.

Surely the line up is fairly similar on the Sunday (minus the Vulcan) - Couldn't those who are interested do the football on the Saturday and Air Show on the Sunday :shrug:

I could have done exactly this, but the Vulcan is the key attraction for me and chances are running out to see it - I don't have a season ticket for work reasons but it is VERY rare that I miss the chance to see the Albion when I can. In fact this is probably the first time since we've been at the Amex that I could have gone to a game but have chosen not to.

Isn't it cancelled. I saw a Spitfire zooming over BN12 this afternoon at full speed and performing a few rolls/dives. Really fast compared to all the pleasure planes and choppers that normally skirt the beach.
Very impressive.

The Canadian Lancaster has a mechanical problem and won't be there. I think the other one is still ok.

Did that one fly over Brighton about 12:30 today?

Vulcan, will it develop a mysterious oil leak like last year?

I have 'surrendered' tomorrows game to bank some points with both wife and in-laws.

A few of her family are down and the in-laws have a new place that looks directly on to Shoreham airport so they're having an airshow party.

Sometimes you have to take the hit and tomorrow is that time for me.

Not into the airshow at all. I generally try to pretend it's not happening. Still the airport has been in Shoreham a lot longer than I have, so I have no right to complain really. I hope everyone who is into this sort of thing has a fine time.
