2012-01-30Go for Gold in 2012

The Fighter Collection and IWM are delighted to announce that tickets for the 2012 Gold Pass enclosure are now on sale.

Watch our world famous event from the comfort and luxury of the Gold Pass Enclosure located on the flight line at this historic RAF fighter base. This year we will witness another splendid line up of the truly great propeller driven historic aircraft of years gone by. Get even closer to these legendary icons by taking part in the Flight Line Walk, accessed directly from the Gold Pass enclosure. Sit back and enjoy the Flying Legends souvenir programme containing wonderful stories of man and machine and marvel at seeing some of these very same aircraft at Flying Legends.

Don’t’ forget, your Flying Legends Gold Pass gives you access to the IWM Museum exhibits, including some of the best preserved First and Second World War RAF buildings in the country and make sure to visit the 1940’s Operations Room. Stand and listen to the wonderful sounds of The Manhattan Dolls, a New York based Swing-Jazz vocal trio with the sound of The Andrews Sisters.

To make your visit to this historic airshow even more memorable, why not sit back, relax and let us provide you with a sumptuous two course deli style buffet lunch. From your choice of cash bar areas, choose an ice cold Pimm’s or a Pint of Spitfire ale to accompany your meal. Fancy something lighter? A full selection of light snacks will be available throughout the day for your enjoyment.

Tickets are on sale so book now, and come and join us! More Information and Download Details

2012-01-10The Manhattan Dolls to perform at The Flying Legends Air Show

Hop aboard the “Chattanooga Choo Choo” and join The Manhattan Dolls on a “Sentimental Journey” through the great music of the 30s and 40s. Sit back and enjoy these timeless classics, or if you're “In the Mood” get up and dance! Sentimental Journey blends beautiful ballads with your favorite toe-tapping tunes, and of course, in classic USO fashion, takes some time to honor our brave men and women in the military. From boogie-woogie to the blues, Sentimental Journey celebrates the best the Great American Songbook has to offer.

The Manhattan Dolls are a New York City based 1940s swing-style female vocal trio with the sound of The Andrews Sisters. Started by former USO Girls, The Dolls travel the world performing for military events, air shows, award ceremonies, parades, jazz clubs, concert series, you name it! They have been featured on BBC Radio London, LX 4 NY, The Tucson Morning Blend and more. They have the pleasure of performing with famous bands including The Jive Aces in the UK and The Stan Rubin Orchestra in NYC.
