Event Details Since 1995, Waddington has been home to the RAF's biggest Air Show. It has a well-earned reputation for appealing to enthusiasts and families alike, and is considered one of the UK's top air shows and we get the chance to be in the middle of things and camp on the base to see the evening’s comings and goings as well as the spectacular flying during the days. The huge amount of stalls provides an enormous range of interesting and exciting goods for you to view and buy. In addition to aviation and military memorabilia for the enthusiast, the stalls offer an unrivalled range of goods to cater for all interests, from furniture to face-painting, cameras to costume jewellery, models to mobile phones, books to binoculars; in fact you name it and it's there somewhere! Whatever your age you will find something of interest in the Main Exhibition located in Number 3 Hangar. Exhibits in the hangar include displays by RAF Waddington's resident squadrons, aviation museums, and major aerospace companies such as BAE Systems, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman and Snecma., HM Customs also have a very interesting and popular display and the model aircraft are always a big draw. Two of the most popular exhibits are the Kart Club and the Wargames Club. The Classic Car & Vintage Military Vehicle Exhibition is located behind the main static aircraft line. Those of you on a nostalgia trip will have a chance to see again dozens of classic and vintage vehicles and aircraft that were so often the wonder of their day. 16th - 17th - 18th - 19th - 20th JULY

It featured some 3,500 vehicles along with 1,000 stalls, many hundreds of living history re-enactors, a massive events arena with spectacular battle re enactments and many more attractions for young and old. Once again last year the EMLRA attended the show and I can truly say that the sights there had to be seen to be believed. With military vehicles stretching across three large fields as far as the eye could see, there was something of interest for everyone, and far more than a report such as this can ever do justice. So for 2008 come and see for your self. Contrary to some rumours the EMLRA will be having a display area at the W&P show and its just the other side of the road from its 10yr old position, the display area is for pre booked vehicles only so don‘t turn up un-booked and then find “no space at the inn“. The show Marshall for this event is Tony Lucy and his deputy is Tony Marsh, TL will be planning the lay-out of the EMLRA display and be at the Show from Thursday Morning to welcome you to the EMLRA display with his normal cheerful way, TM will be at the show with the master plan in his hand from Monday morning to welcome the early birds and get them set into their pre booked positions 18th - 19th - 20th JULY

Closing date for Entries: 10th July How to book into this event: 1) Request an entry pass from the EMLRA show marshal who will have a limited amount of Free passes on 1st come basis Event Details Well can we say, this is still the biggest and the best Land-Rover show in the country, its run by Land-Rover Monthly Mag and the venue is the Gt Billing Holiday and Leisure centre. The EMLRA Display is always well attended and the Traditional Bar-B-Q is not to be missed. You can come for the whole time or just as a day visitor. Billing is the Mecca for the member who enjoys all forms of Land-Rovers and not just the Matt Green ones. Its a great fun family show with the Land-Rover as the star of the show the Military content is quite small with us and the 101 club flying the MOD flag, you will find a few stalls such as Ancore surplus but most are a living example of what’s in a LRM magazine, if you love Land-Rovers then don’t miss this show. Read the write up for last years event and get a taste of things to come. 26th JULY

You get the best Run Plaque ever made and most people wear them with pride for the whole year.
