Little Gransden Airshow - 24th August - a couple of snaps

Post by Pete »

2014's air display will run from approximately 13:00 to 17:00 with a break for a brief memorial service. 2014's display line-up is now taking shape, and so far includes the following items - many more to come:: Last update: Saturday 17th May 2014 (additions marked with *)


CWHM Lancaster
BBMF Lancaster
Vulcan XH558 (flypast) *
Spitfire
P-51D Mustang
Sea Fury (flypast)
Yak-3
Normandy Bears
Extra 330 SC
Trig Aerobatic Team
Twister Duo
Extra Duo with Scale Model
Yak-52
GliderFX Team
Red Sparrows
Dennis Neville's Flying Circus
Cambridge Flying Group formation
TwoTwoFly microlight display

The important one here is:
CWHM Lancaster

This is being flown over from Canada, so with the BBMF Lancaster you have the opportunity of seeing the only 2 flying Lancaster Bombers in the world TOGETHER.

They will be doing a flypast (also Dunsfold the same day) with 2 Spitfires and (I think) 2 Hurricanes. There is a good chance this will never happen again, so a real once in a lifetime opportunity to see them.

Car show is pretty damn good as well. All spaces taken for the car show, I got one of that last ones; but plenty of spectator parking.

A real must-see show.

Thanks to Muzzy Dave for pointing this out to me.

For info: This event is FULLY BOOKED, not only for the display vehicles BUT also for people coming to view the flying / cars on display.

Therefore DO NOT come if you do not have a ticket, you will NOT be admitted and will have had a wasted journey. Be warned.........

What a crying shame, it could have been a whole lot worse. I guess the hydraulics went and he couldn't lock out the undercarriage...

Only had my compact camera with me, so a fairly poor pic...

Superb airman-ship, Seafury's are known to be properly dangerous to land peg legged.
