Abingdon Air and Country Show 5 May 2019
Once again I am hoping that the JOC can have significant presence at the Abingdon Air and Country Show at Dalton Barracks Abingdon (former RAF Abingdon) on Sunday 5th May 2019.
The club has supported this event very well over the past few years and I would like it to continue. £5 per car and driver plus £3 for a passenger. All monies to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
If you wish to come along, please let me know at chairman@joc.org.uk or oxon@joc.org.uk
Airshow, craft fayre, entertainments, classic vehicles, lots to see and do.
Full details will be provided to all attending. Need to be on site by 09.15

Thanks Chris,
This is the 19th Abingdon Air and Country Show. Hopefully will make it to 20 next year. JOC has been there for I think the last 10.

Just a quick reminder/update about the show.
I'll need to get all the applications for a passes off in the next couple of weeks, so if anybody else is interested, please get in touch and I'll get you on the list.
It should be a great show as always.

Re: Abingdon Air and Country Show 5 May 2019
A very big thank you to all that turned out today. All monies for the classic cars go 100% to Thames Valley Air Ambulance. Eventually got a decent pitch Original spot they gave us was "not fit for purpose" but in the end worked out well.

Re: Abingdon Air and Country Show 5 May 2019
Just received this from the organisers. I am still hoping to have a JOC presence there next year.
Press Release: The 20th Air & Country Show took place at Abingdon Airfield / Dalton Barracks with various attractions and a friendly crowd. However, this was the last one which incorporated a Flying Display.
Unfortunetly, it's a combination of constantly increasing costs of running the event including the road closures that cost extra, regulations becoming ever tighter to comply with since the Shoreham accident, the £50 million pound Public Liability Insurance requirement for civilian air displays to display over MOD land which Abingdon / Dalton Barracks are, and increasing stress / time trying to keep the show on the rails - two days prior to the show I had to complete the Military Aviation Authority (our regulators) audit for example!!!
So, to preserve the show and keep it running for the next 10 years or more for the community, I am just eradicating the flying displays to cut the costs associated with that by half.
However - the new format will see the Country Show element expanded which means Tanks Rides will be aback on the course for example, but the aircraft that Fly In for the day will be increased to well over 100 types, possibly as many as 150 aircraft through the day to land, be seen up close and depart, both general aviation,classic and modern military.
Also, Pleasure Flights will be increased to include World War Two types for a back seat ride in, Hot Air Balloons, Flypasts, and possibly a small helicopter show.
So, the end result is much more movements of different types during the day.
Finally, those that can remember the show being on the other side (west side) which was much better for photography - well i am looking at putting it back over there!
So, thank you all for the last 20 years,and here is to the next 10 years or more in a new more affordable format.
