BluBear Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Awaiting confirmation from the Fighter Collection I believe, no announcement yet... If it's on, I'm there with bells on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted January 11, 2022 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 11, 2022 I hope it doesn't coincide with RIAT , I am booked for Saturday 16th July.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It'll more than likely be the weekend before Sidly, whilst they have clashed in the past, FL is always held on the first or second weekend of July. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 The drags are on the weekend before that and it is usually the Leg Ends showtime weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted January 11, 2022 2. Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2022 It might be worth looking at hotel bookings - provided you choose one with free cancellation, you won't be left with a room you can't get rid of if the dates are wrong... Looks like a number of the hotels in the area are already fully booked for that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Only thing is Dave, it's not yet been confirmed that it'll definitely take place at Sywell (if indeed at all). There was some speculation when Duxford released their airshow dates for this year that it may return there, though no word since. Tentative conclusion being that this year's announced IWM-run dates are June, August, September and October, leaving the July dates either free for TFC to take or so as not to clash if at Sywell. Admittedly the latter is most likely, but TFC have been unusually quiet so far. Also, just happened across this recent discussion. https://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=86930 TEXANTOMCAT helps run the museum at Sywell and is usually quite well informed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Whilst not the best option, my only real one is to drive down for the day, but worth it to meet up with you guys. So will see you there on the day. PS if anyone can spare a few batteries, might need a few to top the car up😀 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluBear Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Bugger. Just saw this on faceache. I feared this may be the case. Usually all announced by the new year at the latest. So, as I posited on team speak to some of you chaps recently, how about the Duxford June show as an alternative? https://www.iwm.org.uk/airshows/duxford-summer-air-show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted February 12, 2022 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted February 12, 2022 I will be going to the BoB display in September and Fairford in July so may not do June too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluBear Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Perhaps I'll pop up a poll Sidly, to establish who'd be up for which date if we were to make it a defacto substitute for dangerdogz-do-legends? In all fairness, September is likely to be more warbird heavy so closer to legends in experience. I'd be happy with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted February 13, 2022 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted February 13, 2022 Having voted for June, (because of weather expectations) I would be equally happy with September . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 I know that the line up is not finalised but the June date looks a little bland. I would rather do the September gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Bongodriver Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I was speaking to Pete Kynsey over a pint the other day and he was suggesting that they have found another airfield that fits the requirements for holding a Legends for next year (no one ever thought Sywell would really work). wouldn't/couldn't say where that was but it's at least a positive indication. On the flip side if this new location doesn't work out it sounds like Legends is never going to happen again. at least not in the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
