I think RIAT 2015 was the last appearance for a Puma on static display? Apaches on static display not all that common any more either.
I have to wonder if Peter and the team were to have booked the Sea Vixen, MiG-15, Gnat team, two JPs and a Strike Master and not bothered with any current mil, if you would be bemoaning the lack of British military participation?
For the show, which is - as members of this forum keep mentioning - a recruitment tool for the RAF (and other forces), then surely having as many RAF (and other forces) assets present as possible is what Peter and the team should be aiming for? Not "join the RAF, you might get to fly...a MiG-15!?"
Thumbs up from me. I get that folk want jets at Cosford. Really, I do.. so do we really need the almost weekly "I was hoping for a jet". There will be something announced in the coming weeks I'm sure. Keep the faith.
