Yeah, not holding out too much hope that all the displays will go ahead on Sunday.North Lower Neil said:
Such a shame for those there - supposed to be pretty similar weather Sunday too.Addickted said:Red Arrows cancelled display after a couple of fly pasts. Gutted.0 -
Just in case anyone can help - anyone Maidstone based noticed any bad traffic today? Or previous years!!North Lower Neil said:Hadn't realised that it was this weekend - was going to take the kids over to Maidstone for something completely unrelated, but is traffic likely to be a killer round there Saturday?0 -
Had no issues at all this morning. Traffic should be fine now as the BoB traffic is all here at Headcorn now.
Sold out and great to see so many people walking about outside with not a mask in sight1 -
Headcorn is a bit too far away for Maidstone to be affected by the Air Show, however traffic in Maidstone is never very good.North Lower Neil said:

Cheers - I appreciate that, but there's not great, and there's 3 hours stuck on the A249!ME14addick said:

Thanks for your help.1 -

Lovely picture to see that, my Grandad was in 19 Sqn throughout the war. They flew with the QV markings, he passed away a decade ago now but would always look for that lettering on Spitfires in books/airshows etc. Nice to see it back, as a squadron they saw significant action in the Battle of Britain, Dieppe and from Normandy through to the Rhine.Addick Addict said:

Went yesterday, (Friday) gutted that the Red Arrows display was cancelled, but the flying was fantastic, the Dakotas with Sally B was the highlight for me. If you are going today or Sunday hope the weather holds and you have a great day out.2

Looking forward to seeing Sally B again, haven’t seen it fly for a long time. I went onboard it at The Goodwood Revival about 10 years ago. Saw a few people getting on and asked a guy working there if tickets were available. It cost £10 and spent a good half an hour inside sat in the pilots seat etc.usetobunkin said:Went yesterday, (Friday) gutted that the Red Arrows display was cancelled, but the flying was fantastic, the Dakotas with Sally B was the highlight for me.

Sally B was awesome - never seen a B17 in real life, but to see it flying so low was nerve tingling. Imagine a couple of hundred of them taking off together!
Hate to say it but the Flying Fortress was as impressive a sight as the Lanc.

My view of the show wasn't too shabby.

Just got back, nothing flew today. Bit pissed off with the organisers tbh, half the planes had obviously made the decision that they weren’t flying and left yesterday. No worthwhile announcements about the chances of anything getting up and as the weather was forecast to get worse as the day went on, they must have known nothing was going to happen.0

That's terribly disappointing. Imagine those who had to pay over £100 a ticket for the Spitfire enclosure.DaveMehmet said:Just got back, nothing flew today.

Did nothing fly at all as the weather wasn't as bad as forecast?0 -
I wonder why they didn't mention it, very unique.0

No, nothing at all. Appreciate it must take a lot of organisation to put it on and they can’t do anything about the weather but they must have known from quite early it wouldn’t go ahead and no announcement about a decision had been made by the time we left around 14:30. I guess the longer they keep people in, the more the spend at the food stalls etc.Addickted said:
