Farnborough Airshow advice
- Thread starter NeilF
- Start date
Cos you're watching multi-million pound planes buzzing over ahead? Don't forget kids are free!
In my case a family of four costs £80, which IMHO is a pretty good deal given the nature of what's on show!
I watch multi million pound planes every day for free!
£80 is a rip off would rather hang around near the are and watch it for free!
Good call... But how many F35s do you see?I watch multi million pound planes every day for free!
Well, maybe... I suspect you'll go out for a meal over the next couple of months and burn through £80 in 2-3 hours... Yet, £80 for two adults (& two kids) to watch an air show for 5-6 hours isn't good value?
Seen them in other air shows for FREE
nope wrong!
Well, seems you don't need to go then...

I have terrible luck with airshows, I have since given up entirely. To date I've seen two MiGs collide, a chopper bite the dust and a parachutist down to his reserve chute. The Vulcan was cancelled at the last one I went to.

Isn't that inside MOD land (to the south of the airfield)?
I was there too, great day. Shame the weather wasn't a bit better for taking photos, didn't spoil the spectacle though. Setting off car alarms always adds a certain extra somethingnot been to Farnborough but i'm just back from teh Flying Legends show at Duxford, was ****** awesome. the F22 set off car alarms
Fairford '93 by any chance? My Dad ended up being incident commander for that one, incredibly lucky escapr for everyone that day.I have terrible luck with airshows, I have since given up entirely.

Take an umbrella.
This, rain storms here most of today and Monday was cancelled in the PM apart from the "on-ground" stuff due to the downpours.

It was, I was only about 5 so not my strongest memory but one of the earliest. I remember the chaos trying to get out more than anything else tbh.

A colleague of mine has 3 Grandstand tickets for sale on Saturday, I think he paid £65 each, selling for £45 each. I can't make it but maybe someone here might be interested.

To be honest I meant in case of falling aircraft, but they certainly have a dual purpose.
Sorry if this has already been posted but here is a livestream of the 'action'
