Lol the plot thickens

Who is the Commentator?

[wv383]

Stratton Richie who has been doing the Farnborough commentary for many years.

[LN Strike Eagle]

Take away Harrier and P8 ,and you have a pretty Lacklustre line-up, overly priced as always and getting more like a shadow of its former self year in year out. Not a patch on Fairford.

A few bits I was interested in, having never been to Farnborough before, but just had a look and seen that the gate price is actually £48!!!!!!! That is astonishing!

I don't care if there is a Harrier. I'm out.

Did either plane go tech today?

Or did they both fly?

[BenLuck]

Does anyone know if the 789 is on static tomorrow?

[AARDVARK]

Connie flew,P8 didn't, in fact not even sure if it's still at the show!!
Both 787 have departed

I'm heading down tomorrow, with the loss of the F35 and now possibly the P8 flying display, this is looking like the biggest waste of £46 I've ever spent on an airshow!
Very disappointing...

[BenLuck]

Cheers, I must say I was looking forward to the P-8, rather frustrating that Boeing couldn't keep the 789 at the Airshow for another two displays!

[Adie1980]

Looks like the P8 is still on the confirmed flying schedule for tomorrow...

[CameronSys]

The P-8 was rolled into a hangar in the morning and then rolled out late afternoon with no display

Connie flew

787-900 departed back to the states about 1030-1130 (not quite sure on exact time but was a bit before the show)

[CameronSys]

Oh yes, and the sun shone gloriously with no rain after the gates opened - looks like the weather forecast was way off!

[MRTT]

Looking forward to tomorrow, cannot wait to see the Brietling Super Constellation, United States Navy P8 Poseidon, English Electric Canberra XH134 & the Spanish Navy AV-8B Harrier.

Same just hope the Harrier, and P-8 display can't wait to finally see the PR9 display.

However, that dual seat Spitfire put on such a boring display, the commentator went quiet and fell asleep for the whole display!

I thought it was the Rolls Royce Mk XIX displaying?

On Friday it was "SM520" that was flying. Don't know about today. I did hear about the Rolls Spit going tech, but my brain is frazzled, and I cannot remember where I heard that (went to Waddo and RIAT, so everything is a blur).

[UKTopgun]

Rolls Royce spit went tech at RIAT

[JBartlett]

Oh ok thanks for the info in the past when there own Spitfire gone tech or under maintenance they've used SM520.

[Abingdonman]

I only caught the last few participants on live streaming,the Constellation looked brilliant,never seen one flying live(as far as I know!)
and the Typhoon display was ace!

[tankbuster81]

Vulcan looking as boring as ever, even with Mr Rumens at the helm. P8 Lovely display start to finish,nice looking aircraft.

[Brevet Cable]

Stuff the tarted-up Boring 737 , that Sea Fury was a proper display ( albeit spoilt by PlanesTV's poor camera-work & their needless cutting away to watch XH558 being parked-up )

[Brevet Cable]

[AARDVARK]
