This two-day air show marks the anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Fighter jets such as Spitfires and Hurricanes are expected to take off. RAF jets will also make their present felt. The show is a tribute to 'Churchill's Few' and surviving war pilots are expected to grace the occasion. So get geared for some air action. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Midsummer Common Cambridge CB5 8DR United Kingdom +44 1223 45 7521 |
'Remember, remember, the fifth of November...' Cambridge celebrates this national event, Guy Fawkes' Night, commemorating the infamous attempt by the Catholic plotter Guy Fawkes to blow up the Parliament during times of lesser religious tolerance by the Protestant ruling class and king. An impressive fireworks display and bonfire is held annually on Midsummer Common. Throngs of people brave the cold and mud to watch the city council send off an impressive variety of fireworks and light up a bonfire on top of which burns an effigy of Guy Fawkes.
