Fancy giving it a go on the saturday for the air show, just depends how busy the waters are and how far round we'd have to go to get a decent view. Never been before.

If the weather is good, for me it's one on the highlights of the year!! One of those days where you feel very, very chuffed to have a boat!
Basically if you aim for the middle of Bournemouth and Boscombe piers you will see a big war ship anchored as well as an orange banner strapped to the hillside above the beach (this is where all the planes focus their displays as it is where the hospitality tents are located). There is also about a 100 yard or so no anchor zone from the beach for saftey reasons although its easy to spot as it.
Drop the anchor and enjoy!!
Here are some pictures of a previous year!
Hope to see you out there

more from a previous year to whet appetites (was rather choppy this time!)

Cracking pics gents.
So many people I recognise in the boat ones. I'm always bleeding working! :-(

I could not make it last year, and will not be there this - but some pix from 2009.
Enjoy the day - it's great.

Yep planning to be there, just watching the weather to see which is the best day. Last year it was cancelled because of poor weather, but 2009 was just so enjoyable.
Anyone have a list of the flying times? don't fancy paying £7 for one as seen advertises on the Bournmouth website.

Having a similar problem, too many people want to come, so if the weather is good, it will be several trips over the weekend and maybe Thurs/Fri too.

Haven't decided whether to take the 200 yard walk to the sea-front or just sit in the garden yet. My flat's in at least one of those photo's.
