With even more action expected for the Sprint Strip event which is normally used for airplanes to travel to the runway. The event will include dragsters and motorcycles going head-to-head in a 200 metre straight-line sprint.
You can expect to see Chipmunks, Be2s, Wilgas, Tiger Moths, Extra 300s and Tomahawks in the skies as independent owners and clubs fly into the show. Along with the amazing displays of just people turning up for the event there will be breathtaking aerial displays from Hangar 11’s Spitfires on Saturday and the Trig Aerobatic Team on the Sunday. The world’s only aerobatic formation wing walking team, the Breitling Wingwalkers will also perform all weekend.
It sounds like it will be a great event for the aerial shows and spectacular aircraft along with classic, vintage cars. Tickets cost £14 per day in advance or £17 on the day for adults and for children aged 5-15 it is £5 in advance and £7 on the day. You can also buy a family ticket which consists of two adults, two children for £33 in advance or £40 on the day.
