Welcome to Abingdon!
One of the community's largest annual charity events

During the recent RAF Benson families day, on behalf of the whole Abingdon committee team, Neil Porter (organiser) & Andy Porter (Deputy organiser) took the opportunity to present to members of the Air Ambulance Trust a cheque. After all the essential bills were paid, keeping an amount in reserve to help kickstart the 2010 airshow, a donation of £7,000 for the Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust has been made.
Here, Neil hands a cheque over to a member of the Air Ambulance service. Over the past three shows (2007 to 2009) we have now donated £14,000 to the Air Ambulance Trust, and prior to that another £14,000 has been raised over the 2001 to 2006 shows for the previous charity we supported, the Helen & Douglas House Respite Centres, in Oxford.

If you would like to purchase a copy of highlights of the show in a DVD produced by PlanesTV priced at £9.99,
please go to their website for more details - it will certainly be a DVD worth purchasing to look back on in years to come!
A small extract from the show can be seen here - Swifts Glider Display.
We have always aimed to make our show a great family day out with lots to do and see for everybody -
and it's all for charity, as we support the local Air Ambulance.
The Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance, like all Air
Ambulance services in the UK, is funded entirely by donations from the public and private companies.
Previous shows have raised around £28,000 for our nominated charities.
