Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st of July were the dates of this year's Old Buckenham Airshow. As usual the branch had it's stall set up for the duration of the show. With the event now opening its gates to the public at 8:30am the decision was made to set up the gazebo on the Friday beforehand.
This year we were again up by the hangars but this time on the grass patch on the end next to the Royal Anglian Regiment's stand and opposite the RAF Typhoon Display Team's display.
Saturday saw the best of the weather and the crowds arrived early to enjoy a full days entertainment in the sunshine. This was good for us as people had plenty of time before the flying displays to walk around and discover the various stalls helping us raise over £460.
Conditions on the Sunday were initially poor with heavy cloud and sporadic showers which meant people tended to arrive later in the day, nearer the start of the displays and so had less time for browsing. Still the weather cleared enough for a full flying program and we still managed to raise over £250 for a total of over £720 for the weekend.
With restrictions on when vehicles were to be allowed on site to pack up it was decided to do this on the Monday morning.
A further thanks to all the branch members who helped out over the weekend.
