Margates Big Event

Postby Zoidstar » 03 Apr 2008, 22:34

Expect the times to be pretty much the same as last year ie.
Live Ground Events to start at about 10.00 am and continue untill around10.00 pm on Saturday and for Sunday ground events kicking off at about 10.30 and finishing at around 6.00 pm

On the flying side expect roughly the same length of flying programme as last year (approx Hour and a half to two hours) probably somewhere in the middle of each day, ground events might be suspended during the flying so that the noise of the jets dose not drown out the live bands and other ground based events.

The current flying display:

RAF
The Falling Rocks
RAF Falcons
Typhoon,
Hawk,
Tucano,
Tutor

Civilian
The Blades
Guinot x2
Zoid on!
