Meant respectfully, but they're banging these lists out in good time, aren't they! And why not: some good line-ups emerging thus far!

[MrAngry2]

Never seen the Lancaster at OW, worth the entrance fee alone I would imagine!

Never seen the Lancaster at OW, worth the entrance fee alone I would imagine!

It was before. (think that was the Navy show, with the Corsair/Wildcat/Sea Hurricane/Skyraider/Seafire formation, along with the Lancaster and Teichman's P-40 completing the compliment of visiting warbirds. Quality stuff).

[HuwJHopkins]

Well i think this confirms that this is one day of my study leave that will involve no studying Cracking line-up, I presume that is will be a display by the Lancaster rather than a flyby? If so then

[Chris G]

Anyone know whose the P-51's are?

The BBMF website lists it as a flypast only (by the Lanc and 2 Spitfires) - one of half a dozen they're doing that day.

Fantastic line up...that`s another Shuttleworth show on my list as well.

[Mike]

Anyone know whose the P-51's are?

I'd speculate that they're most probably Maurice Hammond's pair, along with his Auster 5.

[stuart n]

That'd be my guess as well. Certianly hope so, they both looked stunning at North Weald on Sunday

[EMarsh]

That'd be my guess as well. Certianly hope so, they both looked stunning at North Weald on Sunday

Indeed. A £5 flightline tour may be in order...

And free for those of us in the Photo Section

Maurice Hammond's 'Janie' and Ferocious Frankie.

Hangar 11's Spitfire won't be ready for the show

[Manonthefence]

Hangar 11 Spifire replaced by the P40.
I would guess the P51 from Hardwick would be Janie.

[SEMAE]

Hi

Anyone know if the Mustangs will be landing on the day before the display starts?


Thanks

The situation is somewhat fluid at the moment, I'll let you know when I do.

[boff180]

Think this is the perfect situation to try out my new camera and lens.... roll on Sunday!

Interesting that the line-up now is talking about a pair of Mustangs, and a Mustang;

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - Avro Lancaster & Supermarine Spitfire
Supermarine Seafire
North American P51D Mustang Pair - formation and solo displays
Douglas C47 N147DC Dakota
Hawker Sea Hurricane 1B
Gloster Gladiator
North American P51D Mustang

Is this three Mustangs?

Hope so!

North American P51D Mustang

I think the clue is in the formation and solo displays part. So I would say just two im afraid.

[Bert Lee]

Hangar 11's Spitfire won't be ready for the show

Will it fly this year?

Has it been painted yet?

Hmmm...not convinced, can't see the logic of adding the reference to another Mustang I can always hope!

Well I heard somewhere that the two 'Stangs were going to be Ferocious Frankie and Janie, but as I understand it Frankie still has her panels off at Duxford, further confusing things. I have to say it's a bit odd that they've added another entry.

[Rob Leigh]

The plan is that the Dakota will land at Old Warden and be on the flightline prior to the show so this is a great opportunity to catch a large aeroplane operating from a great location.

[LN Strike Eagle]

If this weather holds, I hope to be there - BBC saying cloud and thunder storms for Sunday at the moment though.
