The first comment from the Gazelle Squadron on the matter, from their website... Some of you may be aware that during the latter part of 2024 we managed to secure access to a few more aircraft, once fully certified we hope these will serve to prolong yet further the legacy of the Gazelle helicopter....

The collection aircraft due to fly at this year's shows have been added to the Shuttleworth website. The Southern Martlet, Blackburn B2 and EE Wren are all due to return to display flying after being rested in 2024.

73-1586 is still at Mildenhall, should anyone be interested.

The 32 San RAF AW109SP GZ100(/G-ZIOO) departed Northolt for Sywell for what is reported to be the final time recently, being withdrawn from use and put up for sale.

Hopefully Navy WIngs' Seafire G-KASX makes her return too next year. What's changed in the past 12 months regarding the engine situation for that to happen? What is the engine situation?
