The Sywell Airshow Committee is delighted to announce that the Duxford based Plane Sailing Cat will be making a static and air -display appearance at Sywell on the Airshow of the 26th September 2004.

Also - dont forget the British Aerobatic Championships on the 3-4th Sept!

That the Cat is coming at all is entirely down to this forum - i posted about the airshow, the Cat guys contacted us and Bobs your father's brother!

All the best and see you at our little show

Good news. I'll try and make it there.

Are you still looking for display acts? What is booked currently? Great news about the Cat. I'm still hoping to make it over on the 26th, hopefully I will visit the museum one weekend beforehand though.

Nice looking show, I take it the Harvard pair are the two aircraft based at Sywell? Any idea who is taking part in the Warbird Aerobatic team? Any news on the resident Mustang?

Sorry for all the questions.

Great shame we won't see that again, I watched the Radial Pair video again last week, happy days.

So that's leave house and turn left.

Ok, that's close enough to get to without wings so it's in my diary.

Seeing as there seem to be so many airstrips etc out there, WHY IS FLYING SO BLOOMIN' EXPENSIVE! ;)
