for those that like to watch airshows in comparative luxury, from their FB page, posted yesterday evening:

Despite the ticket page currently saying we have availability we are now sold out of VIP tickets. please do not buy any as any bought from tonight onwards may have to be refunded as we only have so much bone china to go around!
Availability on other tickets is just under 50% left at the moment.

I bought the standard tickets ages ago but this does look rather nice, might treat the wife and me next year although photographing the arrivals might be a problem!

and now the FB page says less than 150 online tickets left:

now less than 150 online tickets left. Once these are sold there will be a limited supply in the shops and a very limited supply on the gate. We are governed to a maximum number of visitors by insurance and H&S regulations, once we reach that number we will have to refuse further entries. Sorry we don't make the rules but we do have to play by them!

from the Little Gransden Air Show FB page (I'm sure they won't mind me copying it):

A reminder to all those planning to watch the show without buying a ticket:
The following statement is from Little Gransden Airshow Organising Committee:
In advance of this weekend's Airshow at Little Gransden, we feel it is important that the following message is posted:
•The organising team takes great care to ensure its air shows are as safe as possible for everyone involved.
• It is not safe to occupy the fields immediately surrounding the airfield, with the exception of accessing of public car parks, during the flying segment of the air show. If you do so you are putting yourself and the display pilots in harm’s way.
• In the event of an incident it is imperative that the emergency services have clear, unhindered access to the tracks across the surrounding land.
•We are aware of various public footpaths and byways in the area however there is no public access to the fields at any time.
We go to great lengths to ensue that any incidents with aircraft leave pilots with as many opportunities as possible to keep aircraft away from the public should an incident occur. Viewing the show from outside of the designated showground area negates this safety measure and in certain circumstances could cause the flying to be cancelled whilst areas are made safe.
Please play safe, buy a ticket and stay within our safety management plan provisions.
Thank You,
The LGAS organising team.
We have also had several posts slinging rumours about reported and they have been removed; this isn't a group to discuss the CAA's temporary restrictions upon vintage jet aerobatics. Please be aware media coverage is usually inaccurate and uses emotive terms and don't listen to rumours. We will update you on the format of our only vintage jet display item (the Vulcan) when we hear from the only people who can provide the information - the aircraft's operators.



EDIT - only 44 online tickets left as of 3 hours ago

looks like it is going to be another busy day at little Gransden

last year was funny, we were in early so were near the front but as the airfield filled up it was like a slalom course getting around all the chairs and picnic blankets to get to the toilets or to have a look around

lets hope we have a nice day as it is my last show for 2015 and the last time i will see XH558

weather forecast is a bit iffy at present so fingers crossed. I've told some friends how good it is so they are coming along so 11 of us in all!, we will need a large pitch area for our chairs :D

Won't be my last show of the year as I'm going to Duxford in September but Sunday will be the last time I see the Vulcan flying (unless there is something yet to be announced which I can get to), that will be a sad moment after chasing it all over the place during the last 7 years. Will get my last full display at Clacton tomorrow so going to make the most of that. That reminds me - I must set up that Vulcan photo comp.

enjoy the show on Sunday M1
