Just a tad over eager aren't we? This season hasn't even started yet and you're asking about next season. Patience laddie, patience.

Duxford information

Booking information

If you do nothing else, go to Flying Legends at Duxford.

Shuttleworth is highly recommended too:

For the big, noisey stuff try the Royal International Air Tatoo

Keep an eye on the aviation magazines. What part of the UK are you coming to?

Seeing that 140 Sq has a location in Singapore, it could be that he/she is merely planning a trip over here in 2005 and is wisely checking in advance the best weeks to arrange that trip for?

Undoubtedly this means a July trip, which covers Legends and a Shuttleworth / Old Warden show.

I'm sure if you ask TFC nicely they'll give you the provisional date for Legends 2005

Flying Legends is always (with only one exception several years ago) on the second weekend of July.

I wish I knew stuff like that.

I think perhaps I have early Alzheimers :(

And invariably clashes with either the Goodwood Festival of Speed and/or the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Don't I know it. I've had to miss Goodwood for the past two years that it clashed ..:mad:. The good news is that it doesn't clash this year ..:). I believe the Grand Prix still clashes with FL.

Farnborough is on every 2 years as it's in July this year there won't be one in 2005. RIAT Fairford is on each year. This website has sections and links for most air events in the UK, Europe and the US/Canada. The dates are all for 2004 at the moment but will show 2005 ones as they become arranged.
