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?
Just in case anyone can help - anyone Maidstone based noticed any bad traffic today? Or previous years!!

Headcorn is a bit too far away for Maidstone to be affected by the Air Show, however traffic in Maidstone is never very good.

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

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.
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.
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.

That's terribly disappointing. Imagine those who had to pay over £100 a ticket for the Spitfire enclosure.
Did nothing fly at all as the weather wasn't as bad as forecast?

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.
@DaveMehmet they announced that anyone with a ticket to today’s show will be offered a free ticket to next years. They will be in touch with all ticket holders.

Yes mate, saw that, but I'm on a promise that day.

Thanks for your help.

Lovely light and great panning - that looks like it was after our air to air?
