After some difficult years with the covid pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Abingdon Air & Country Show returned to this year's display calendar. 2023 marked a very welcome return to it's traditional May slot, albeit a little later in the month.

The horrors of the last eighteen months have taken their toll on us all. For many in the aviation world the lack of events and socialising has been hard hitting. In many cases it's seen many shows fall by the wayside, with the government restrictions due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thankfully the Abingdon Air and Country show, which was postponed from the 12th June 2021, was able to go ahead on the 11th September 2021. Returning for the first time since 2019, the former airfield of Royal Air force Abingdon, now Dalton Barracks played host to two days of aviation action.

The Abingdon Air and Country Show is one of the traditional season opening events. Returning to its usual slot over the May Bank Holiday weekend, Abingdon is a really fun way to start the season. This year saw a varied mix of flying displays supported by a fly-in themed around the Royal Air Force centenary, the country fayre style arena and showground, plus many other attractions.

Now in its 17th year, the Abingdon Air and Country Show raises significant sums of money for local charities with over £75,000 raised to date. Being much more to than just an air display, there is plenty to entertain the entire family including displays by the Thames Valley Police Mounted division and falconry amongst those taking place in the arena and a sizeable classic and military vehicle display that attracted much attention. Interestingly for 2016, the stalls that run along the crowd line appeared to have been moved back slightly, giving a larger viewing area of the main display axis. This gave a much less cramped and more comfortable feel during the afternoons flying.

Now in its 16th consecutive year, the Abingdon Air & Country Show – under the leadership of Neil Porter and his dedicated team – excelled themselves again by bringing together a fantastic family day out, despite somewhat challenging conditions both before and during the show.
