Flying Legends Airshow History
The Flying Legends Airshow is a hugely popular event which features an unrivalled line up of the great classic piston engine fighters and bombers of both World Wars.
The air show, which is run by 'The Fighter Collection' (TFC), usually takes place over a weekend in July and has previously been held at Duxford in Cambridgeshire.
On the 25th August 2020 it was announced that the Flying Legends Airshow will no longer be taking place at Duxford. The 2020 show was cancelled due to the Coronavirus and the last 'Flying Legends' airshow to take place at Duxford was in 2019.
The reason given by IWM Duxford was that due to 'financial pressures which have resulted from the coronavirus pandemic over the past few months, IWM Duxford has been required to examine all future events and consult with key partners to ensure that, as a charity, the organisation is able to maximise income and remain financially stable.' It was therefore mutually agreed that TFC would seek an alternative location to host Flying Legends. See Press Release
here.
It was announced on the 6th November 2020 that the Flying Legends Airshow would take place at Sywell Aerodrome, Northants, on 10th - 11th July 2021. See Press Release
here. Unfortunately, the Flying Legends Airshow 2021 had to be cancelled, due to the uncertainty surrounding the UK opening fully for business, because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Flying Legends was also cancelled in 2022 because a suitable venue could not be found - See News
here.
It was announced in February 2023 that the Flying Legends Air Show would return in July 2023 at Leeds East Airport (formerly RAF Church Fenton).
