Just reading your old post here Bob, sorry I know I'm a bit late for the party in contributing a response, but knowing old habits die hard when it comes to history and being an aviation enthusiast myself, and as 664DaveS has already mentioned, have you considered the East Kirkby Hideaway at Main Road, East Kirkby, Spilsby, PE23 8BY Not sure about current prices but worth enquiring (Tel: 07913 167810) On google maps its very close to the Aviation Heritage Centre and ideally sited in the heart of Lincolnshire. Their open days often feature the red arrows in the summer display season, worth correlating the relevant websites for dates that coincide to give you an airshow for free.
Hopefully you managed to get up to Lincolnshire last year but if you're still missing that 'fix' I can recommend a nice little film of Just Jane and the sound of those marvellous Merlin engines until you can get there again. All the best. https://youtu.be/uJ2IeEIcKa8?si=OWWaLwGWqoxRKRrQ
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Thanks for your reply.
We stayed at a ths at woodhall spa last year.
We visited both waddington and conninsby viewing areas. Saw some awesome jets, but only the tails of the red arrow jets.
Later in the year we went to an event at Duxford where we viewed a red arrows display. The only down side was the one hour waiting I the car to get off site.
I was stationed at RAF Cosford during my last years in the RAF so attended many airshows there ( working!).
We live quite close so we get the aircraft stooging around waiting to display. If we are home we have a bbq.
Since retiring we are usually in Europe in June and early July.
The Aerospace museum at Cosford is well worth a visit.
They have all 3 V bombers there as well as many aircraft types I have worked on. ( Harrier,Canberra, Jaguar, Wessex and Gazelle helicopters)
