Long story short, I did somebody a good turn last week and they offered me a cinema for an evening. I think it might be the Comber venue AT mentioned. Asked for a film choice I nominated BoB and they seemed to think that was doable. So I was just gauging interest here, as my interested friends wouldn't fill out a row.

BTW Strand is closing for renovations, they had a competition for 'last screenings' before the current seetup closes and I nominated BoB for that too, I didn't win.

Great Film, much of the interest in Warbirds in the UK came from this movie, as a side note it was largely made by the people behind the Bond movies at the time.No CGI anywhere near it.lol

Strand Cinema might be an option for a viewing,there used to be a small private cinema (not mucky stuff) out near Comber, it was called The Tudor, run by the Spence family but it closed due to Covid, it was renamed Excelsior at some point.

Great line in one of the action sequences,when a German gunner spots a group of Spitfires coming in to attack, he exclaims in a thick Cockney accent " Spitfire ", always makes me grin, its a minor detail but funny.

Can you organise one?

Belfast International Airport / Windy Fun at BFS
Last post by angry turnip - Apr 06, 2024, 01:12 PM
1230 Wind has picked up quite a bit past 30 mins and I note runway 17 at BFS is in use with some inbounds holding.

1310 Wind at BFS 180 degrees 25knts, BHD is 180 degrees 35knts, was 37knts for a while.

Part of me would like to go down, since its not the weekend after RIAT but the line-up in recent times hasn't been anything great. BBMF is always lovely (especially if its the Lancaster) but I will have seen them 5 times before Bray.

I did enjoy the last time I was there, 2016 with the Freece Tricolori but I said it would take something absolutely incredible to get me back after I started going to the likes of RIAT & Ducford shows. Too much hastle getting up and down on the trains/buses

Might just do Blackpool the following week instead.

I agree, I went twice and considered going again, but the traffic situation and/or accom made it more hassle than it was worth.

Strange how the website suddenly got updated, maybe others were asking ?.

I'm in England that weekend which kinda takes that decision out of my hands. Although Bray went very quickly from being one of my favourite shows to one that would have required a very special appearance indeed to get me to consider it. Over regulated on the ground.

Website updated today and looks like it is a one day show
