One thing that the RAFA Shoreham Airshow prides itself on is the true �family day out� � and this is no different.
Unlike many of the popular sea side events, Shoreham is a real airshow with many of the aircraft being based at the airfield giving visitors the opportunity to meet the pilots and look at the aircraft from close quarters. The show takes place on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st August.
For this year's show, there's a first when the Guinot wing walking team add an extra plane to their team, and stage a five plane display.
Tthere will also be displays by a B25 Mitchell bomber, a Vampire T11
jet, the Black Cats helicopter display team, a Catalina flying boat and
the Blades aerobatic team formed by ex Red Arrow pilots.
Christian Moullec from France has not graced the skies of Shoreham for
several years, and he will return with his microlight and geese which
fly alongside him.
The RAF will provide the Typoon - Eurofighter display, alongside the
Chinook, Hawk, Merlin, RAF Falcons parachute team, Battle of Britain
memorial flight (the Spitfire and Hurricane will be basing at
Shoreham). It is hoped that the Hercules will be landing with the RAF
Falcons.
There will also be a chance to see Spitfires and Hurricanes scramble as
the airfield is attacked �this will include more pyrotechnics than ever
and more ground lookalikes.
A first will be �The Dukes of Cassutt� display team � these three
aircraft will bring back the early days of air racing reaching speeds
of up to 250 miles and hour. This team is led by Richard Grace, the
son of Carolyn Grace who will be opening the show each day in her
Spitfire ML407.
Add a craft market, circus and other entertainment for families and Shoreham Airshow offers a dramatic day out.
