A regular visitor
@Carer - if you also read the small print you will see that all raf attendances are subject to operational commitments and serviceability. @Brazilnut - well said. It never ceases to amaze me that people will nit pick over a simple thing like this and forget the loss of a valued member of the best aerobatic display team in the world. You should also remember that the pilots of the Tornadoes are ...
Sadly the Vulcan has had to pull out at the last minute with major technical issues which will prevent it displaying for the next two weeks - pity but, as the aircraft is over 50 years old with a large amount of flying hours it is to be expected that these things will happen.

As a regular visitor to Dawlish (been visiting the town for annual family summer holiday since 1999) I have always enjoyed the carnival and the airshow. Any idea when the airshow is on this year?
