Autogyro confirmed for Portrush.

I think I may sit Portrush out this year. Nothing grabbing my attention so far.

Think I will be leaving it this year too unless something big comes! Or a few jets lol

Nothing coming so far that hasn't been before

jasT1981 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 24, 2019, 05:30:54 PM »

With no Reds, Typhoon or BBMF Lancaster, Spitfire & Hurricane there's bound to be a bit left in the pot for something bigger/more exciting than what's listed so far.

I am considering a weekend trip to Heathrow to watch the aircraft there on Portrush weekend.

Classic Warbirds will be at Portrush with their Yak 3.

Ah-ha, something new to see!

jasT1981 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 25, 2019, 06:06:49 PM »

That's got me a little bit more upbeat. Hopefully some more warbirds get added. Sally B and a Sea Fury would go down nicely.

Privet!

That's a plus.

It would be amazing if Portrush (or Newcastle) was able to get these guys. Ultimate Fighters, a 4 ship display consisting of a P51,P47, Spitfire and ME109

Huey and Loach added Airwaves Portrush event on their FB page, so looks like they will return.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #36 on:** June 03, 2019, 02:54:49 PM »

It would be good if these guys could be booked...https://www.historichelicopters.com/Pages/1/Home.htm

They have RN Westland Wessex HU5 XT761 G-WSEX and Westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XJ729 – G-BVGE both in airworthy condition.

They also have G-SKNG Westland Sea King HAR3, ex XZ597 which seems to be going through CAA approval.

jasT1981 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 03, 2019, 04:38:17 PM »

The Whirlwind is a good display, saw her last year at Cosford. She was down for Duxford however winter maintenance wasn't complete so was unable to get PDA.

The Wessex and Sea King would be fantastic to see over here.

Would be a nice change to see these instead of Huey & Loach every single year!

Global stars confirmed

Another show that just has nothing on the bill that I'd cross the street to see. Various different reasons but sorry, nah.

Wildcat aerobatics have cancelled all remaining airshows for 2019

Quote

It is with an overwhelming sense of sadness and disappointment that, due to a significant aircraft unserviceability issue, one of our Pitts Special aircraft is out of action for the foreseeable future.

Regrettably, despite our best efforts, we have been unable to source a stand-in aircraft which means that we are going to be unable to display for the remainder of the 2019 season.

Wildcat will, however, be displaying at Aylsham Show in August as a singleton.

Just over three weeks to go and still no line up announced. Not looking good

jasT1981 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 07, 2019, 07:04:00 PM »

I think they put all their eggs in the Open Golf this summer and the airshow is an after-thought.

Lots of complaints about lack of communication and updates on their FB pages.

TCX49 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 08, 2019, 07:32:56 PM »

Just announced on Airwaves Portrush FB

P-47 Thunderbolt

Guessing both days

jasT1981 · « **Reply #47 on:** August 08, 2019, 08:17:24 PM »

Great addition. It does a fine display.

Sneaky_Nikon · « **Reply #48 on:** August 08, 2019, 08:46:44 PM »

Nice, but nice enough to travel for? Hmm. Probably depends on the weather for me!

Very disappointing
