This review is about the 2022 Old Buckenham Airshow rather than the airfield in general. Old Buckenham is a small, but well equipped, airfield in South Norfolk. It has hosted an annual airshow for many years, but the 2022 show was its biggest and best yet. The show was held on both a Saturday and Sunday with the same line up each day. I attended on the Saturday and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Drove straight in, no queue at the ticket check (advance tickets only). Similarly, after the show it took only 5 minutes to get out of the car park. Plenty of space to set up the chairs and watch the flying. Fair range of trade stands to look at. Plenty of catering good quality and sensible prices (about 50% what you get stung for at Duxford). Quite a big military vehicle display to look at too. The flying display line up was excellent genuinely up to Duxford standards but at about 60% of the cost excellent value! Highlights includes a total of 5 Spitfires, B-17, RAF Typhoon, Catalina, Lysander plus a wide and interesting range of supporting acts. Something for everyone but still with plenty of appeal for the serious aviation enthusiast. Overall, a well organised, entertaining, good value for money airshow what more could you ask for?

Old Buckenham Airfield is rich with history. My Grandad used to come here as a kid and get sweets off the Yanks. The air shows they put on are honestly incredible its a sight to be seen ranging from modern aircraft like the red arrows all the way to the beloved older era planes like the hurricane, B-17, P-51 Mustang and so on! Defiantly worth a visit whether an Airshow is on or isnt on.
