RAF Waddington Air Show FoDTVA Coach trip - Sat 6th July 2103 report by Dave Anderson
Not only does the Friends of Durham Tees Valley Airport assist the airport when required but also organises trips and events for the members, it was decided this year to run a coach to the RAF Waddington air show. The trip was advertised on various websites and forums and soon enough interest was generated to book the coach for the Saturday of the show. With Cobham kindly allowing us the use of their car park we left the airport what seemed like the middle of the night, well 5am! With the help of a few cans of lager to help wake us up it was soon time to stop for Brekky at McDonalds, just past Gamston. With the help of dedicated bus lanes we arrived smoothly into RAF Waddington on what was a hot and sunny day temps around 26deg in the afternoon. The show brought in a few interesting vistors, however it shows the sign of the times when a large are of the static is made up of civil light aircraft, nevertheless a very good show was put on. Each had their own favourite flying display, the Chinook as ever puts on a superb display, the Vulcan was awsome and helped by great conditions the Red Arrows put on a polished display and to top off seeing a Swedish Viggen flying again all in all it was worth the trip. Well done to Colin G for organising the coach and tickets.
The list contains everything that was visible at the show up to 5.30pm ( a French AF C130 landed around 6.30pm, oh and the Red Arrows were not noted down).
