And, I know I get crap for it, but if you really want to see CD that badly, go to Cosford. I appreciate it’s an inconvenience that another show might have what you really want to see, but unfortunately that’s the hobby. You can’t expect it all to come to you. It never has been “everything at RIAT”,...

Personally I’m just excited to photograph it alongside BlackJack. Both on arrivals and departures. I’m gonna photoshop it to look like they’re taking off together. (If I can that is)

That will be nice.

Wonder what the Facebook-allocated cringe nickname for it will be. Stripey? Cammy??

Typhoondisplayteam 31m - We think Moggy is a fitting name

C'mon we know how wartime camo Typhoons are named, with the well known Gina.

So lets see if we can do better, I'll suggest Funmug to start things off.

That in itself is OK to a point but whereas years ago, if not at the Tattoo you could bump into the display at Mildenhall, Alconbury, a BoB day, or anyone of a host of station open days, now its the Tattoo or a terrible venue at Cosford where they operate from somewhere else and you're looking into ...

I'll put it here then.

Well that is certainly worth looking at, a proper special scheme that looks absolutely stunning.

10/10 for the RAF on that one.

I obviously wouldn't post

Now that would be a good start.

they wont attend RIAT, imo only static from the French this year.

Thanks for the update Peter.

Why have Navy Bryzas become so scarce in the last few years when at one stage every show/fly in/photocall/village fete/autojumble/add your own here had one turning up?

Just an observation, not a request, that would be a Seasprite from the Navy.

Have they put in anything as clever as a knife........?

they were moaning about the freedom fighters not flying and them getting the patrouille suisse confirmed. Quite right they should moan, the Swiss don't fly Freedom Fighters! Also correct me if i'm wrong, but is the Phantom the fastest jet in NATO? I thought I read it somewhere No. Was that the Dail...

A thread for aircraft that have turned up but theoretically not on public display over the show days. This can be VIP visitors, transports carrying kit and crew for the display aircraft or even emergency services helicopters stationed far side. If they were put into the static parks they don't count...

Bulgarian, Serbian, Indian Air Force & Navy, Moroccan all ongoing it’s the hope that kills you! 😂 Zambia was also ongoing… and you know what happened:). But with the Turkish F-16’s and F-4’s, also comes some nice support. So that’s also very interesting. Turkey have never sent any support airca...

Some great items on static there with the Sheppard specials, the tiger tanker, Black Widow F-16 and that Eagle - is that still a flyer, its an early frame?

Most of all the Jolly tribute HH-60G in Vietnam colours looks terrific.

Enjoyed looking at those immensely.

Wave 1:

Wave 2:

Is this the flying element or instructions for simple folk gathered upon the Royal balcony?

Also nice to see that the Chinook Role Demonstration is set to attend, very curious as of what the demonstration will exactly include

It did indeed and he had stamina by the seems. He went straight into an imprompotu mini display at Boscombe on arrival from Russia once the Tupolev had landed.

They were busy in the UK in June 1992 with appearances at Boscombe Down, Biggin Hill and Woodford. Were both jets at Biggn Hill?

meh!

no RAF trainers added.

I'm not sure about feeding the five thousand, you'll have enough reeled in to feed the entire population of England at this rate.

Woke up this morning in a good mood and thought it would be great to have a Juno from Shawbury and a Texan from Valley. They normally get announced as the whole package with Tutor, Teacher, Prefect, Texan, Hawk, Avenger, Juno, Jupiter and Silver Surfer all added as one, so fingers crossed for you R...

Tomorrows update ... I've said this a couple of weeks and been wrong so far but .... Canadian Static, like we said previously, hopefully the Aurora and more heavies. As always I could be way off the mark Yes, you could. We could be more adventurous and say Serbian Oraos, Qatari F-15s, Colombian Kfi...

The likeliest of the ACC demos imo is the F-35. Only one with a gap in the schedule that has permanent based aircraft in Europe. Would be nice to see how the RAF Role Demo with the B variant compares with the F-35A demo of the usaf.

Well lets hope if it does appear they won't try hovering!

Great shots, really like the Mi35 and Alouette but I have to be honest I just do not like angled runway shots at all.

Wow, an impressive selection of types and schemes. Must say the Romanian F-16s look really good but those Qatari Rafales are something else.

Disruptive camos rule.

Super results there Shaun.

Wow, there are cerainly a lot of different types on offer there and very well photographed in all the conditions Sean. They've certainly gone to town on the MiG29 paint job, the seaplanes are lovely and the Storch looks dreadful. Good to see a proper Canadian Chippie with the correct canopy as well....
