Welcome to Abingdon!
Please note: This annual Air & Country Show is a totally separate event to the RAF's Spirit of Adventure event.
It's not just an air show! As well as a large scale
fly-in of both modern & vintage aeroplanes and the associated air display, the
Abingdon Air & Country Show will have vintage vehicles, steam machinery, arena
events including dog agility, music and dancing; craft fayre, military recruitment display,
bouncy castle, climbing wall, mini quad bikes and other kids amusements and much more!
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 once againt this year we will be supporting 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 £16,000 for our nominated charities.
Gates open 10AM - event closes at 5PM.
Dr. Who better be careful, because we've got Daleks coming to the show!
Flying display list updated on 1st May - unfortunately the DC-6 will now not be joining us due to an engine change, but instead we will be getting a DC-3 - the famous Dakota - in what may be one of the last few appearances of one at a UK airshow if new European rules succeed in grounding the type.
Pleasure Flights will once again be taking place on the day.
Traders & vehicle exhibitors - sorry but we are now FULLY BOOKED!
Sponsors are being looked for to help offset some of the costs for the 2008 show; if you are interested in sponsoring an item please contact our Sponsorship/PR person whose details are on the contacts page.
