Question: Will the Mildenhall Air fete take place this year?
Answer: There hasn't been an Air Fete at Mildenhall since the last one in 2001. A small 'community event' for the locals was planned in 2005 instead of an Air Fete but this too was cancelled. With the war on terrorism, US security concerns, parking problems at Mildenhall, cost, and now a lack of US airshow organising experience it is unlikely they will ever have another large display....unless anyone knows differently.

Question: Will the Woodford Airshow take place this year?
Answer: There hasn't been a Woodford Airshow since 2000. The show was scrapped because of the torrential rain which affected the last three airshows and which in turn put an unbearable financial strain on the organisers. At its peak, the airshow attracted 100,000 visitors and raised £2.5million for the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) charities.
