50 quid for a family ticket!

The normal entry fee is 5 quid for an adult and kids go free, so this is 5 times the usual price! No thanks.

The price is the same as it is for a regular cold war jets day, 20 quid per adult.

They are fundraising after all, so you can see why.

This is hardly the same programme as a Cold War Jets day though, is it? According to their flyer, they're not even running the engines up, let alone doing fast taxi runs.

In which case then yes it's a bit of a rip off.

But the Lightning crowd are a bit sort of exclusive up there anyway I always feel!

Yes - I'll be there.

£20 is a bit steep compared to their other offerings, but then they are looking after 4 of them now.

Hoping for some nice snaps but the weather doesn't look great for pic's.

Could be good for some cold war moody shots!

Always used to be a lottery with the twins, would all four reheats work on the fast taxi run?

Somewhere, there is film of five Lightnings taking off simultaneously, only three here though https://youtu.be/RBDF60o2Ns8?t=51
