Bray airshow 2012

Yea for a free show like this, they should be looking at a few military acts to pad out the line up. I'm resigned to thinking the Bray Air Display is merely a side show to the Bray Summerfest.

Really?? heres part of the report of Clacton's 2011 show which is also a free seaside show,

2011/12 Estimate
2011/12 Amount





Direct Costs
88,450
64,273





Income
-74,320
-63,731





Net Subsidy/Surplus
14,130
542


Key Issues

§1 This financial overview does not include the cost of internal recharges, which is estimated to be £44,730. This covers the internal staffing and a proportion of other central overheads.
§2 The saving of £13,507 compared with the budget estimate was largely due to the Red Arrows being unable to perform at this year’s show; this would have amounted to an additional £16,000 in costs.
§3 The cost of the flight display accounts for 31% (£20,000) of total direct expenditure
§4 Trade Stand income accounts for over 72% (£46,000) of all income generated.

So it cost them £20,000 for just the display's which were mostly RAF...

5 pictures of the Blades on their list of participants to make the display line up look good, who are they trying to kid. Traffic restrictions from 12 noon to 7pm, with the small disply line up it will be over in less than an hour

The 7 hour traffic restriction is probably for the banner towing that passes over every half hour... Haha

Really disappointed with the line up, could do better myself..

The Fly In at Clonbullogue this weekend sounded way more exciting than Brays Air Show!

Be better of getting every one to just go to dublin airport for the day and join the spotters. Would see more anyways

i agree,i even work in the airport and would rather go ton the airport on a day off to see more than what bray has to offer...very poor line up this year and rest assured when i see si pardy i will defo give him both barrells so to speak:mad:

Does anyone have the full list of air craft that are going to actually attend? I covered the air show in 2010 and 2011 but it seems to be getting smaller every year. Someone even mentioned the air corps maybe not showing up? I have a friend who runs their press division and heard nothing about them not showing up. I was thinking of bringing along a 500mm lens this year but hearing about people dropping out is starting to put me off hauling around so much equipment on the day. The facebook page and main site are too much of a joke and its proving next to impossible to get a proper line up. Does anyone have any solid information on who is going to show up?

sadly the way this show has gone its impossable to say who or what will actually turn up.nobody seems to know and wont know untill an aircraft is actually flying its display

lisatiffany,

Lidl have 100% confirmed the display plastic bag will be appearing. Not sure on which direction it will enter the display line though as this will depend on wind direction on the day.:D

just heard that lidl are sending 4 bags to put on an alternative display team:D:pac:

I hope Lidl put on a good show, perhaps some day they can afford a display from Aldi too

better start asking aldi now for next year.hope the organsiers go to all the stops and have a formation fly past of party balloons too,ha ha:D

nothing new there.at least the aircorps have finally confirmed....still not going to bother my arse going

I reckon I'm not going to bring along a 500mm lens since the hawkers not coming, just go for something small like a 300mm. the BD5 should be interesting though, I'll have to ask my friend in the Air Corps if he will be flying the Casa on the day. I know the 2nd Casa is in Spain at the moment getting refitted, be nice if the USAF showed up again this year too. Frankly if it doesn't rain and we get some sunshine I'll be happy.

Guys............. now Im really confused.......... and so will the media be !!!. The media page refers to the event as a display, a show and a spectacular. Well, if the organisers are confused when they are putting together a page, how do they think the media will be ??

I think someone should tip off Captain Pardy (or 'screw' for those with predictive text) about Portrush. A statement at the bottom of his new 'welcome' page commences with "Ireland's largest free air show........". This grossly exaggerated error was pointed out in a previous comment on Boards, but clearly he is unable to interpret messages or learn from previous mistakes.

He really cons his patrons by suggesting there are 25 acts invited / confirmed by posting 25 images. Take a closer look at how many pics he has of the same aircraft !!!........4 for the Blades........ his favourite display team in the whole world !!!. I see he doesnt seem to be getting overwhelming support from our Government.......... with 5 days left and a new web page......... he has the IAC as 'invited'.

Sure Duffy's circus are in town that day.............. mmmmmmm............ now there's a thought !!!!.............. sounds more tempting !!!......... at least we know what patrons can expect if they visit a circus !!!. We've little idea what to expect from the circus on Bray sea front on Sunday ???

For all we know they probably scrapped the the hunter display to pay for the shíte website..

Definitely not going now, waste of time travelling up to see what i see occasionally..

Red Arrows, Typhoon, Blades, Hawk,
