Flightline UK - RAF Waddington International Airshow 2009

RAF Waddington International Airshow- 3rd-4th July - Preview

RAF Waddington International Airshow is the RAF's premier airshow of the year. RAF Waddington is in Lincolnshire, long regarded at the home of the Royal Air Force. The show is well liked by families and enthusiasts alike bring together some of Europe's top display acts alongside very strong support from the Royal Air Force. In 2010, the show has a number of exciting themes:-

90th Anniversary of the first RAF airshow

Where were you on 3 July 1920 when the first ever RAF Air Show was staged at RAF Hendon? We are planning to recreate that amazing feature by flying a military aircraft from every decade since 1920 during the 2010 show. This will be a unique event and one not to be missed.

70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

To commemorate this iconic period in our nation's history we are planning a re-enactment of a war time airfield attack. Hear the sirens wail as they warn of danger, feel the heat of explosions and gain some idea of the fear that must have been felt by those under attack. All this and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

35 Years of Airborne Early Warning

It is 35 years since the introduction into service of the E3 aircraft and 20 years of RAF E3-D Sentry operations. We are planning an AEW bonanza with representatives of AEW operators from across the globe exhibiting their aircraft in an amazing static display.
