Outline (subject to confirmation) Saturday 25th June:

11am - Amphibious Capability Demonstration (beach) ?? aircraft involvement ??

1135 - RAF Falcons Parachute Display team (beach)

12 noon: RAF Red Arrows Display

1.06pm - RAF Typhoon flypast

2.20pm - Army Red Devils Parachute Display Team (? beach ?boating lake area)

3.30pm - RAF Chinook Display

4.15pm - RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Spitfire & Hurricane only??)

4.45pm - RN Black Cats Helicopter Display Team

5pm - Army White Helmets Motorcycle Display Team (Boating Lake)

5.10pm (TBC) Royal Navy Raiders Parachute Display Team ( ? beach ? boating lake area )

6.30pm - Sunset Ceremony. (Armed Forces Gate) ?? aircraft involvement??

10.15pm - Fireworks ( No night pyro displays )

I am assuming the flying will be in the usual seafront area between the pier and the leisure centre but it could be infront of the boating lake area where the military villages and displays will be - await clarification from the organisers.

I wonder if the RNHF Swordfish and Fly Navy's Sea Vixen that have PDAs can be added to this line up??

A little spread out over 7 hours! the organisers could have easily condensed the flying into around 2 hours - so a day at the beach with some displays added on
