We are losing XH558 for want of effort, let's not lose this show, too. At the rate we are going, paper darts will be all that is left!

Lincoln is the spiritual Home County of the Royal Air Force and to move the air show is important to the service and its supporters. The R A F must select a suitable venue then fight for it if necessary.

I was mortified when I heard that the last Lincolnshire air show was being cancelled, please, please, please find another air base that could handle the volumes of cars and people that this air display could generate (Scampton / Cranwell ?). As an exRAF techie I know the effort that goes into these events, I implore you to do something positive to prevent the long link with Bomber County being broken.

We need to show the aircraft that are going to protect our country and the ones that already have.

As a Ex Waddington Air Traffic controller, there is no reason why the Air Show could not be moved to Scampton. You have so much support from Ex RAF and local population that it would a very sad day to see another Air Show finished.

You must keep the Lincolnshire Air Shows going! Scampton would be perfect.

Bomber County deserves an Air Show to keep the memories alive.

fully agree with the stand you are making and if not Waddington then another Lincolnshire Air field - we need an air show in the north of England!!

Keep Honouring the 'Bomber County' and the memory of the men that gave their all for our country.

Lincolnshire, with its very long RAF heritage, is the obvious county to host an RAF sponsored airshow.

Airshows are now so sterile and have been nearly obliterated by the health and safety Nazi's. This show or a similar location is an absolute must !!

Alternative arrangements should be dutifully made ... we owe it to the fifty five thousand five hundred and seventy three.

Please keep the airshow going, there as so many places which were where airshows were held but over the years they have disappeared and people want to see the old and the new aircraft flying if possible and they turn up in their droves to see this from all over the country, so please reconsider you decision and allow us to keep enjoying the shows.

The premier air show for the North of England is an important part of my holiday plans each year. If it does not return I will be devastated.

Waddington was always the best air show of the year, please don't stop the best "heavy metal " show there is.

The RAF should provide a showcase of its capabilities and to show the public how taxpayers money is being used to equip our armed forces

Coningsby must surely be the obvious choice. Home of the BBMF - what more could anyone want!
