Whats NOT displaying

Postby Mayfly » Fri Feb 01, 2013 11:10 am

It appears that there will be NO solo Hawk or King Air displays or Typhoon role demos this year :( and the Tutor is also looking doubtful.

The Red Arrows will also be unable to use their Hawks owing to defence spending cuts, I'm afraid.

Still, they're determined not to disappoint:

Believe it or not, the truth is they can get seven cadets plus seven barrows in their minibus, but need a trailer for a full nine barrow deployment. On this occasion the trailer wasn't available. :)) :))

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

You can add Tornado Role Demo to the list - confirmed today will not be displaying this year. So that really just leaves the Typhoon.

So we're left with the Tucano of the trainers, then?!

Aside from the BBMF and The Reds, just the Brize and Waddo based types too? Most of which never appear at air shows...
