Re: RAFA Shoreham Airshow 2013 - 31st August-1st September -

Post by Flightline UK »

Hello,

We'd thought we would update you on plans for our airshow at Shoreham Airport in West Sussex to be held on 31st August-1st September. We have two major themes for the flying display - A Salute to the Mighty Eighth Air Force and the 70th Anniversary of the Dambusters Raid. Though we are based at the South Coast, our airshow takes place at Shoreham Airport, and money raised by the show goes to the Royal AIr Forces Association. For 2013, the OC 617 Squadron, Wing Commander D S Athurton MA RAF has agreed to be the airshow patron.

The Eighth Air Force salute will be a 45 minute set-piece of constant action in the flying display with formations and solo displays from some iconic USAAF types from the Second World War. We will also have our traditional Battle of Britain Scramble complete with pyrotechnics.

Our flying displays are a mix of military and civilian displays, but we are delighted to welcome back the Typhoon Display Team after a few years absence. We still have a number of display acts to annouce, but as of 6th June this is what we have in the flying display.

Sadly, the RAF Tutor display will now not be coming to Shoreham. We are also expecting a solo Fournier RF4D display from the Redhawks display team.

We can however reveal the final addition to the flying programme is Richard Lake's Hispano HA-112-M1L Buchon. This marks the first time this aircraft has taken part in Shoreham and the first time we've had two Buchons take part in out famous Battle of Britain Scramble. More information about the flying display can be found on the following links:-

Tickets are available ONLINE until 11.59pm on Thursday 22nd August or right up until the Friday before the show from Shoreham Airport Terminal.

We also have just a few places left in the Executive Marquee. If you would like to enjoy the airshow from the best seats "in the house" with complimentary buffet lunch, programme, easy parking with free transport to and from the Marquee and the famous Spitfire Ales ICE BAR please visit the HOSPITALITY page, download the letter and forms and return to the airshow office ASAP!
