Goodwood Revival 2011 air display times and flight path

The Days schedule and event information is now up online and the air display time are provisionally booked for the following times:-

14:55 display over track
19:00 spitfire display over goodwood house
Saturday 8:30 spifire flyby 10 mins

13:00 (Spitfire tribute on track)
13:15 spitfire squadron display
17:35 Battle of Britain spitfires leave

Based on previous years there have been more flights at approx 17:00-18:00 and day closing displays.

previous years have included the red arrows but not in the last 3 years at the revival and according to my sources are not current scheduled to display at Goodwood Revival they are due to be in the Netherlands on the 16th-17th and in Newcastle and belgium on the 18th so highly unlikely to see them at Goodwood, like wise the Avro Vulcan’s last scheduled display of the year is currently 10th of september.

Click on the image below to see a larger map of the Goodwood airfield, access around the track is limited during the display sessions and visitors to the revival can not walk past the orange markers either side of the track during the displays.

However if you are not attending and would like a close up vantage point from outside the airfield you can use the orange markers as a guide as to where the aircraft will be flying the red line on the map is a public footpath so a great vantage point.
I state here and now if you stand directly under the flight path you do so at your own risk not because i said it was a good idea!

So if your questions are any of the following you should now have the answers:-

Are the red arrows flying at revival = no
Is the avro vulcan flying at revival = not likely
where is the best place to watch the displays = see above
what times are the air displays at revival 2011 = see above
what planes are flying at revival = up to 12 spitfires and other old planes ( harvard, mustangs, lancasterbomber, etc)
any further questions please email me
im very local to the track so have good information.

Tribute to Red arrows Star Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging RED 4

It is with great sadness that I do todays post, due the the loss of one of the red arrows, team member Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging who died saturday 20th August 2011, deepest sympathy to his wife ,family, friends and colleagues.
This photo was taken at the goodwood festival of speed 2011 just after a formation split, I followed a sequence of photos where red 4 flies on the outside and then he flew over my head.
Todays image comes without the usual watermarkings found on my photos, happy for this picture to be re posted or published anywhere as long as the embedded text stays.

The red arrows always have done and always will hold special memories for me.

Glorious Goodwood Ladies day 2011 Magnolia Charity Cup

Edie Campbell Super model for burbery) had an outstanding ride to win the Magnolia Cup, the female charity race run before the main card at Glorious Goodwood on Thursday (ladies day).
Edie Campbell, 21, who has modelled for Burberry and Chanel was an easy winner on the George Baker-trained Harrodian Hotshot, the names of the horses were changed for the charity race but under racing rules is known as George Baker.

Being a fan i wanted Sara Cox radio 1 dj to win but finished 9th on horse number 9.
The bright silks of Annette Mason were looking good to start with but she had a fall after the stirrups came loose after 1 furlong she held on to the finish line but the horse made a sudden turn towards the parade ring and she was thrown off becoming unconscious for a short while, she was later taken to st. Richards hospital, Chichester as a precautionary measure but was conscious on leaving the race course.

Second went to Channel 4 racing presenter Emma Spencer on the gambled-on Royal Star (Jungle Bay).
