The Tornado Role Demo is not at RAF Benson next week - I asked the team via their Facebook page and they replied saying...
Sorry, but no plans to be at Benson. Next event for the team is at Kemble, Dunsfold and Carfest South in 2 weekends time.

The Tornado Role Demo has been rumoured for Benson Families Day for sometime but when I looked at the TRD website yesterday it wasn't listed. I wasn't sure if this was because it is effectivley a private event or whether the rumour was simply unsubstantiated? You seem to have confirmed the latter!

Much appreciated that people have been posting and keeping myself and others up to date, i have been away for a while and its complicated to update the site via mobile, so sorry for the lack of updates. Seem to be on track again now.
Keep the Information coming.
Many thanks, Sismore

Again, nothing firm, but there is a chance of another Role Demo (2x Merlin, 2X Puma) again this year at Benson

Rick - from what I can gather, sadly not! I think I read somewhere that they used water-soluble paint for the Olympic scheme and 'she' was returned to her RAF colours in very quick time. Fully understandable I guess, unless there were plans to use her again in the closing ceremony or for the Paralympics 'she' has real work to do! I stand to be corrected.

Thanks for the small review about the Benson families day, maybe anyone with Pictures would like to share them on the Website?

Re Benson, can anyone confirm the serials of the three Pumas, the Chinook that was flying around in the morning and the Apache please ? I think one of the two flying Pumas was XW222. I'm also missing a "Red" if anyone has all nine. I identified the 7 display aircraft and the single (XX306) that arrived mid morning.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if the Brize F&F day is still happening tomorrow, and (if so) if there is likely to be any flying? TIA.
