Petition to bring back Waddington Air Show

Over 1,000 people have signed a petition to bring back an air show in Lincolnshire.

It was announced last month that the Waddington International Airshow would be cancelled indefinitely.

The petition calls for the RAF to do all it can to find a new home for an air show in Lincolnshire.

The show was cancelled this year while work to replace the runway is carried out, but now the RAF says increased security concerns and operational risks mean it will be no longer be held there.

Instead, the air force says it is looking at whether an alternative show could be held at RAF Scampton from 2017.
