Bournemouth Air Show : One of Dorset's biggest event.After the huge success of the Bournemouth Air Show in 2008,this event is now firmly on the calender of must see shows in the summer. On 2009 the dates are 20th to 23rd August with the Red Arrows being the big draw. They are on display at 1.30pm Friday,3pm Saturday and 5pm Sunday. Not only that there are displays by the Eurofighter Typhoon,the Spitfire,the Flying Fortress,Vulcan, and the only wing walking display team in the world Team Guinot On the ground there will be 1.5 miles of street stalls including a fun fair at Boscombe Pier running to 8pm each night. The Band of the Royal Marines will play in the Lower Gardens near the Pier.Bet they play the Monty Python theme.
Update:to get my views and my Twitter followers on how this all went visit my Squidoo lens. here. Hint: the sixty seconds of fireworks lasted only about 8 seconds,so the company who did it have offered to do it again next year,for free!
Getting hereLast year it was estimated some 200,000 people came to watch the show,so parking is a major problem.Now if you come by train South West Trains are offering a special deal of £10 to travel between any two SW Trains stations.More details of this offer can be found here If you do come by car then there are a number of park and ride schemes from Bournemouth University, BH12 5BB,King's Park, BH7 7AF and Littledown Centre,BH7 7DXI would go for the King's park site as it is just off the dual carriage way the A338 known locally as the Wessex Way.This is the main route into Bournemouth if you are coming from the east. Pricey at £10 per group of seven but then you would pay more to park in the town centre for the whole day.
