Re: Sneaky Egyptian (?) prop aircraft ident please?

Dave has emailed over the photos for me to look at. The first one is Embraer's Super Tucano (PT-ZTU) Not sure where it came from but Flightradar says it then flew to Malta, and then to Rabat. The second plane is a Spanish Air Force Falcon 900. :smiley: Late to the Party with this one, but it was fr...

Re: Death of the Bournemouth Air Festival

The report suggests replacing some displays with kites and drones, creating a fresh experience for attendees. This sounds absolutely dreadful. Drones and Kites will not freshen the experience for attendees, ...

Hidden in 'plane' sight! It doesnt stand out as much in some of the places it operates unlike the grey does, consider it Urban Camouflage.

Re: Malta Airshow 2023

The Sunday flying display was cancelled, anyone know why? We’re thinking about going next year assuming it will be a similar date and we’re just wondering about how logistically fragile the show is. To be fair we’re probably going to Malta anyway but it would be nice to plan dates to catch the show...

Re: The Victory Show 2nd to 3rd September 2023

That’s a shame about the Blenheim then - but again, very poor from the organisers not to remove it from the website.

What’s your source? Both the Blenheim and Corsair are still listed on the website so I’m struggling to see how they can add one as a replacement for the other but at the same time not remove the Blenheim from the website?

If a validation is done in poor weather, are they only allowed to do that display even if weather is better?? No. if validated on a flat display, they are validated for the full compliment in general. However it shouldnt be a problem as most if not all the displays have been validated somewhere els...

Re: Validation displays at air shows

In general only non UK based displays are required to validate a display in the UK, with the exception of Farnborough, which requires all displays to validate regardless. It's now generally the case that the FDD or FCC will validate a foreign display item prior to them coming to the UK if time allow...

Indeed. I think Blackpool is the most northerly airshow on the west coast and Scarborough for the east coast? There is the annual Red Arrows flypast at the Great North Run though. There is the daily LFA17 airshow near me but admittedly, sometimes when I go, nothing turns up. With the return of Tees...
