RAF Marham and RAF Northolt families days have been added for 2015, RAF Northolt should be the day of the Queens Birthday Flypast as parts always fly through during the families day
RAF Odiham, Halton and Shawbury families days have been added with all having the RAF Chinook display, the Chinook display team will also attend RAF Benson families day.
Massive update for Marham families day which takes place on Thursday, looks like to be a big one this year! I would say it looks better than some of this years airshows too?..
Large American participation down for static and with a F-15 flypast too
Hearing that the Rolls Royce Spitfire XIX had an engine problem (possible failure) during its display at Cranwell Families day today - thankfully a safe landing ensued.
If anybody has a list of serials or photos of the Static at the Benson families day please let me know. Am looking for serials of Apache, A109, Chinook and Puma in the static.
Good day at Odiham,A400 was good as was the Chinook role demo.Typhoon,Wildcat Aeros,Gnat,Strikemaster.Display also included single Apache,Yak-52,Lynx Role demo.Superb departure from the Typhoon as well.
