Bournemouth Air Festival 2010 - Press Release
Bring the Vulcan to Bournemouth!
23rd July 2010:
This year’s 2010 Bournemouth Air Festival display line-up features parachute teams, international aircraft, world-famous pilots, incredible display teams and super-fast jets; but for avid Festival goers and aircraft enthusiasts, one iconic aircraft has yet to be confirmed – the Avro Vulcan.
To help secure the aircraft, Festival organisers are urging local businesses, individuals and companies to back the event and for only £200 become an official Patron. So far more than 45 businesses have joined the scheme, but an additional 20 Patrons are needed to raise the target of £4,000 for the Vulcan to display at the weekend.
Robert Pleming, CEO Vulcan to the Sky Trust said; “Bournemouth was the highlight of 2009 for us, and we’re so incredibly keen to come back and display again this year; we’re urging everyone to get behind the Patron’s scheme, so the Vulcan effect can take hold of the town again!”
Patron’s money so far has gone towards funding the new Thursday evening dusk display featuring the Dutch F-16, Miss Demeanour Hunter Jet, sparkling glider and Red Devils.
Gina Mackin, Patron’s Scheme champion added: “The Patron’s scheme was designed specifically for challenges like this. We’re asking people and businesses who benefit from the Festival and even aircraft enthusiasts, to contribute only £200 towards the record-breaking landmark event. We need to raise at least another £4,000 for the aircraft to come and display over the weekend, so show your support and know that you have done your bit for the town.”
