WWI Commemoration Airshow Sunday 10 August The flying element of our event has been affected by the adverse weather and will now not take place*. However, we have a full programme of events that includes the chance to take a close look at our WWI aircraft, with pilots and engineers on hand to talk about these. There will also be pilot tours throughout the hangars at 12.30 and 14.00. Ground show entertainment will continue, including: Kit presentations by the Great War Society, a chance to see ‘Battle Bus’ – the London bus that went to war, music by Fiona Harrison ‘A Voice in a Million’. There is also an exhibition with Historic photographer Alex Burnham on photography during the early days of the Royal Flying Corps, WWI replica tank, and the chance to see two Sopwith Camels on static display in our Blister hangar. We also have a range of traders and the chance to talk to our vehicle section about the Collection’s vehicles. The Old Warden at War exhibition will also be taking place in the garden room, and the Swiss Garden is open to enjoy (subject to weather)! Our on the day admission price has been reduced to £20. *If weather allows some aircraft may be able to be flown. There will be no WWI or Edwardians today. We will be observing a two minute silence alongside the memorable Last Post and there will be WWI aircraft flyover to commemorate those we honour with our silence.
