Sun 03 Red Bull Air Race 2008 - London
0000 hrs

This was somewhat an aborted visit when I hosted this event a couple of years ago when it was being held at Longleat. It promised to be a great day out - a minibus packed full of my friends ready to see some awesome aerobatics, but instead we saw some awesome queues and cloud cover ;-( But hey, this year it's being held in London over the Thames with the O2 building as a backdrop in what promises to be a fun-packed, adrenalin-fuelled experience. Let me know if you're interested as tickets sell out fast.
