First time I've been there since 2015 and will definitely come back again next year! The variety of acts in the flying display is amazing, and the static is vast and varied. I simply didn't have enough time to take it all in! But definitely worth it." Best Free Airshow 1st) Eastbourne (268) 2nd) Blackpool (132) 3rd) Ayr Show Festival of Flight (92) Eastbourne have held on to 1st place this year retained their places this year, and Blackpool move up to 2nd in the absence of Bournemouth Air Festival, which did not take place this year. Comment from Emily Eldridge: "We have been going for YEARS (since I was a little girl). Year after year they make the event special and never fail to impress. The organisation is phenomenal, the volunteers are always happy and knowledgeable. We come away each year having had a lovely time and the bookings never fail to disappoint." Best Display Team 1st) Red Arrows (361) 2nd) BBMF (211) 3rd) RN Black Cats (186) Lots of votes for these 3 display teams from Eastbourne voters, as the BBMF make a return to the top 3, but not enough votes to dislodge the Red Arrows from the top slot. Best Solo Display 1st) RAF Typhoon (316) 2nd) Pitts bi-plane (Rich Goodwin) (205) 3rd) Extra 300 (Melanie Astles) (145) The RAF Typhoon and Rich Goodwin in his Pitts bi-plane, hang on to 1st and 2nd place respectively. Melanie Astles in her Extra 300 make a first time appearance in the Airscene Awards. And finally Best Aviation Museum 1st) IWM Duxford (251) 2nd) Army Flying Museum (207) 3rd) Fleet Air Arm Museum (182) The Army Flying Museum drop to 2nd place this year as IWM Duxford jump from 3rd to 1st. RAF Museum Cosford don't feature this year, Fleet Air Arm Museum make a return to the top 3.
