Hope you don't mind op, have popped the full list of this seasons shows in comment #2, I LOVE the Red Arrows, the work that goes into their shows is amazing. Thanks for sharing

You're going off at a tangent.

It is free for the car and 2 adults for the 200 of us taking Classic Cars to the event.Still about 5 or 6 spaces available if you've a classic/vintage car.
Think the Airshow starts at 12

Yes, you're right. To disagree would be a sin.

I'd go as far as to say it's obtuse :wink:

I almost spat my drink out looking at the prices.
As this post is about the Durham one which is £16 odd per adult, then definitely shouldnt be under freebies.
The Sunderland one in July is definitely free though.
Used to go to the one in Gloucestershire when I was younger but, not every year as was expensive. Now it's £49 per adult, what the heck? :confused: Mind boggles. *cleans up drink*

THIS SHOULDN'T BE LISTED UNDER "FREEBIES". Entry is via bought ticket only!

The show is not free

Good thread

You'll see just as much standing looking up from a distance away as you will if you were at the airshow itself, this post is about where you can see the Red Arrows doing a display not about free entry to airshows :smiley:

Red arrows will also be in Minehead on 10th Aug for the Summer Festival.

my daughters going to the event at Durham tees valley airport its £16 a ticket plus £5 to park your car so the event is not free. I suppose if you stand outside and look up its free but that's not really the same or what this post implies.

Love em they used to be based here so watched them for free
and I've been in one :smile:

Love the RED ARROWS :smile:

You're going off at a tangent.

free show its £55 for a family of 3

I prefer the Blue angles
