well thats waddingtons choice narrowed down a little

[138EAW]

Hopefully the two shows can share the aircraft. RAF are supporting that show well

Also noticed they have the Tornado down as an airfield attack and a solo display? a typo?

[Finningley Boy]

Indeed, I noticed that too. Jammy Devils and Danish F16 as well as Belgian and Dutch ones.

I thought the Danish F16 (F) for Yeovilton was a mistake, seems like they are running a demo this year. A very welcome display to the circuit!

Chrisse, do you know much about this team? I saw them display at Avord in 2004 (quite a good display!) but haven't heard of them since. I'd thought maybe there were just a one-off team formed for the Meeting Nationale, but I guess not!!

[Chrisse]

I only saw them once, last year at Beauvechain on July 21. I think this is something that pops up from time to time for the occasion. Avord is their homebase so that would make sense, and it also undertakes multi-engine pilot training for the Belgian air force. With Beauvechain being Belgium's training base (well, Marchetti only nowadays), you can see the link. They usually fly along in Belgium's national parade on July 21 too nowadays.

New civilian participants in the flying display:
Yak-52 (Etienne Verhellen)
Peggy Krainz wingwalking (Stearman)
Melissa Pemberton (Extra 300)
