Nyheten kom den dagen jeg måtte forlate nettet for noen dager. Dårlig nyhet som så mye annet om luftfart nå. Jeg har heldigvis fått med meg tre show sammen med Rolf Messmer og har sterk tro på at showet vil gjenoppstå et annet sted. Flymuseene på Dux er også verdt et besøk. (Red)
Imperial War Museum Duxford axes annual Flying Legends airshow for good
The financial burden of coronavirus was cited as a factor in the decision
Today, the Imperial War Museum (IWM) Duxford announced it would be cancelling the hugely-popular Flying Legends airshow for good.
Citing issues from the coronavirus pandemic, IWM Duxford - a non-profit charity - said the decision had been made to maximise income and remain financially stable.
The Flying Legends show, which features World War-era planes was previously described as the "best classic aviation event in the world".
The event will now look for another venue for future air shows.
The annual airshow scheduled on July 11 and 12 this year had already been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.However, the announcement that it would never again be hosted at IWM Duxford shocked fans on social media, with many expressing their disappointment at the news.
Nick Grey, an organiser of the airshow, said it was with a "heavy heart" that he confirmed the change.
"We truly hope that our team will find an alternative location to welcome this iconic event and that we will have the privilege of seeing you all again," he said on Facebook.
Flying Legends, which is organised by The Fighter Collection, boasts a fleet of vintage warplanes from the 1930s and 40s.
John Brown, IWM Executive Director Commerce and Operations, commented: "We are confident that Flying Legends will continue with its success and would like to thank them for entertaining audiences at IWM Duxford over the years.
The Fighter Collection will continue to be a highly valued partner and its collection of aircraft will remain on site throughout the year, he added.
