“Seeing the Battle of Britain Memorial
Flight when it flies past accompanied by
stirring music and it was a pleasure to
meet the veteran Air Gunner Joe Williams
at Airbourne in 2010.” Susan Fox

“Seeing the first breath-taking Typhoon
display in 2005!” Peter Howard

“I’ll never forget the day the (Oasis Hong
Kong Airlines) Boeing 747 did a fly past
over the sea in 2007, it was madness seeing
such a loud display so close to the sea.”
Rebekah Neumann

“The red, white and blue fireworks for
the Red Arrows 50th Anniversary, in
2014 – amazing!” Tracey Robinson

Vulcan appearance, Tigers jump for
the Olympics closing ceremony and
fireworks at Princes Park!” Phil Parsons

“I remember in 2001 the Chinook HC2
helicopter flew on to Eastbourne beach with
a land rover dangling underneath, it then
landed and troops disgorged and engaged
in a mock beach battle.” Steph James

“The airshow in 2000 was, in my opinion,
one of the best with the Harrier GR7,
Jaguar GR3, Nimrod MR2, Tornado F3
and a Tornado GR1, plus a large display
of classic and vintage cars in the Winter
Garden! What a year!” Mike Marchant –
Events Development Manager

“One of my most precious memories is
sharing a car with John Romain in 2013, as we
travelled out to Shoreham Airport where the
Spitfire he was displaying was based. He is an
amazing pilot, a superb engineer and a real
favourite of mine.” Graham Huntley

“Seeing the British and Canadian
Lancaster flying together back in
2014, it was a sight that may never
be repeated!” Peter Horne
“Airbourne 2015 had all my favourite
moments – it was the last chance to see
the Vulcan and the first ever Blenheim
display.” Robert LeGrys

“The awesome French Mirage 2000! A
rare sight in the UK and nice and noisy!”
Nigel Wills
“Arguably the most famous jet in the world,
the Harrier GR7. This was the first year it
appeared at Airbourne (1999). I was always
impressed at how it hovered and then bowed
to the crowd at the end of its display. We
came back to see it on the Saturday
and Sunday too. What an aircraft!”
