A P-51 Mustang fighter from WWII will once again grace the skies over Old Buckenham this summer and it\u2019ll be joined by the most innovative modern display act; where a carbon fibre aircraft is chased around the sky by a 41% scale model. Both display acts will appear twice over the weekend of the 28 & 29 July 2018 at the Old Buckenham Airshow.<\/p>\n
WWII icons are no stranger to Old Buckenham; adding to an enviable list which already includes a Flying Fortress, the most famous Spitfire in existence and a Douglas DC3, the weekend will also feature the P-51 Mustang, arguably the only fighter aircraft to be held in the same regard as the Spitfire. The P-51 which will display on both Airshow days is called \u2018the Shark\u2019 due to the highly distinctive shark\u2019s mouth design on the nose of the aircraft, part of an extremely rare RAF marking scheme.<\/p>\n
Contemporary aviation is also well represented thanks to the return, by overwhelming demand, of Chris Burkett and Mike Williams. Chris, an aerobatic master, will fly his cutting edge carbon fibre Extra aircraft through one of the most demanding sequences of aerobatic manoeuvres imaginable. This alone is a remarkable sight, made all the more extraordinary by the fact that he\u2019ll be chased around the sky by Mike piloting a 41% remote controlled scale model of the \u2018real\u2019 aircraft. Voted as the \u2018Airshow moment of the year\u2019 when first performed, both days will see the duo complete a truly unmissable airborne feat, guaranteed to be the talk of the Airshow crowd once again.<\/p>\n
In another first, the Airshow will allow a few lucky budding aviators to start their flying career; aboard another WWII icon. We\u2019ll be joined by a T6 Texan, known better in the UK as the Harvard; a WWII fighter trainer. Those lucky enough to climb aboard will not be going for a ride; they\u2019ll actually be taking part in a first flyingn lesson, where they\u2019ll take control of the iconic aircraft, all under the steady hand and guidance of a highly experienced warbird pilot and instructor.<\/p>\n
Finally, the Airshow is improving its family friendly credentials even more. In 2015 we successfully took on the Ice Cream Van Cartel by offering quality Ice Cream at a wallet friendly price. This has proved a huge success over the last two years and we\u2019re delighted to announce that we\u2019re working with Dann\u2019s Ice Cream to offer the very best quality ice cream, all made on their Norfolk farm using milk from a pedigree herd. Despite offering a truly luxury ice cream; the prices will still remain as affordable as ever and maintain our victory over rip-off prices.<\/p>\n
Matt Wilkins \u2013 Airshow Event Organiser \u201c We\u2019re rapidly running out of WWII icons to display at this year\u2019s Airshow. The addition of P51 Mustang ensures that we\u2019ve got the two most inspirational fighters of the war joining the legendary Sally B, B17 Flying Fortress and a DC3; a lineup beyond the wildest dreams of most Airshows. The Extra and the Model\u2019s return ensures that everyone can be astonished and find out that the hype is well and truly justified. Add to that our new found ability to offer Norfolk\u2019s best Ice Cream courtesy of Dann\u2019s and this is shaping up to be the best Airshow yet\u201d<\/p>\n
