Zoom lens and wide angle lens for D3200

Hi guys,

I'm in the market for a zoom lens and a wide angle, does anyone have any recommendations for both?

I read that Tamron are quite good!

Budget
Tamron 70-300 vc good for the money. Nikon equivalent more expensive but meant to be slightly better
Tamron 17-50 also meant to be good

Budget £200-£300 for the zoom,

Not sure on the wide, i'm option to options.

Is this the correct zoom lens?

I had that lens and thought it was good for the money.
All the shots in this album were taken with it: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjZtpGTw

I now own it

arrived today.

What's best shutter speed for airshows? 1/230 ish?

Depends on the light, the speed of the aircraft and whether or not you're aiming for prop blur.
As a rule I stick it on Aperture mode for jets at f/8-11 and for props I put it on shutter priority ate anywhere from 1/320 down.
