Has been provided to myself via a very reputable source who is in contact with the display team. If I'm incorrect I'll eat all my shoes and slippers

I seem to remember the Dutch F-16 using flares at B/mth in 2010, so it should be possible. :up:

An amazing coup for Bournemouth to get them as their only UK appearance of 2015!! :clap:

Long overdue in my opinion, been 5 years since we invited the Dutch F16 over. Let's hope the weather is kinder this time and that this is an indication that Bournemouth are getting out of their airshow line-up comfort zone :smile:

Would love to see more of the same but Airfest is up against Radom which will be a massive air show and suck up alot of top displays!!

RAF Typhoon display dates for 2015 have not yet been finalised, but would be VERY surprised if it didn't come to Bournemouth this summer as per usual (along with the BBMF)

Potentially shaping up to be the best air festival yet! Add hunter , Vulcan ,Canberra and not much else you can ask for. Maybe a P51 for the warbird buffs.

A foreign display team would be nice, the cherry on the top! :icecream:

Would also be great to see a larger prop aircraft in the line-up, for example one of the RAF's shiny new A400M Atlas aircraft! I know that's unlikely, but something similarly large. We had the DC6 in 2008, and a large sized aircraft has great presence along the seafront and would add to the variety (I haven't forgotten Sally B)

But agreed, potentially looking like the best line-up since the festival started (hopefully the weather will play ball!) :cool:
