If Waddington is a front line base then surely so too is Coningsby. It therefore has to be Scampton.

As a child I grew up, on a Lincolnshire RAF base, with the likes of the Vulcan flying over my house. I used to watch in awe.....relocate please don't take it away from todays younger generation.

Took my family to waddinton in 2014, fantastic day out as im sur everyone will agree. Its important to keep younger people intrested in aviation and the jobs involved within, be it with the raf or not. if not the skill base of the uk will dissappear.

We hope another venue is found for the air show, so that we can support them again after many enjoyable visits.

There are so many lovely aspects to Lincolnshire and Waddington has contributed to this for many years, it has to stay!

The RAF is such an important part of Lincolnshire's heritage and the airshow brings it alive.

I'd like to see it at Coningsby. For us to the south of the county losing Waddington is a bitter blow. Scampton has the mighty Arrows so lets keep the balance and have the airshow at Coningsby.

Cannot say how much I support this. I've been going on and off since I was a very small child, I'm now 21. It would be devastating to lose this great event in Lincolnshire. Please do all that you can do make sure we keep an air show each year in this great county.

RAF SCAMPTON and the LINCOLNSHIRE SHOW GROUND together ,plenty of space,would make a great venue,

As a UK tax payer and ex serviceman, I strongly feel that with there no longer being a Waddington air show it is removing my right to see where my hard earned money is being spent. The U.K. Military belongs to the tax payer not just a few bean counters etc and also if extra security is required...well so be it ! RIAT at Fairford does a fine job....I certainly would pay a couple more quid to cover the extra cost of it all!

everyone loves air shows, Lincoln is the home of the RAF and local economy thrives during the air shows. Lincoln is the most apt place for it

RAF Scampton is the better choice as it is more open around there
