Re: Duxford Air Festival 25th - 26th May 2019
Was just wondering. Will the BJT be operating out of Duxford or from elsewhere?

I imagine it will be Cambridge - that's normal for Reds and PdF, but I dearly hope they do operate from Duxford, unlikely as it is.

Didn't they operate from Duxford last time they displayed there? I remember seeing a video of them taking off to display.

Best bet is to ring IWM Duxford and ask I would think. There is upgrades on the day, however depending on how many were sold before ticket sales close.
Can I upgrade my standard Air Show ticket to a Grandstand Experience on the day of the show?
The Grandstand Experience has a fixed capacity so we recommend that you book in advance, as we cannot guarantee that there will be availability on the day. Visitors must have a valid air show ticket in addition to their Grandstand Experience ticket.

Is it worthwhile visiting tomorrow? Do pilots normally rehearse their routines on Friday?

The arrivals and rehearsals tend to be late afternoon in my experience. If you can make it without too much hassle, its always worth a look I reckon.

Following on from the above - will the BJT need to display tomorrow to get their PDA or do they already have that?

A PDA (Public Display Authority) is a military requirement and does not apply to civilian acts like the BJT
They will need to get a DA (Display Authorisation) from a CAA-approved examiner, unless there is a read-across from a European approval that is accepted by the CAA

Well I went and had a thoughly enjoyable afternoon. My arrival was a little late due to a fatal accident on the A505 so I missed the Apache doing it's stuff, but the rest was very good indeed. I had to leave just before three because my back had had enough of standing around, the aching was driving me nuts, but I had a great time.

Any idea if the RAF Hawk turned up?
Re: Duxford Air Festival 25th - 26th May 2019
Weather is looking good for tomorrow, not so much for those with Sunday tickets.
Can’t wait!

Personally looking forward to the strikemasters and the Percival provost. Haven’t seen the Breitling jets in ages but looking at the lineup tonight I am quite looking forward to the variety

Sea Hawk outside as well!
Re: Duxford Air Festival 25th - 26th May 2019
Ultimate Fighters & Sea Fury WG655 both arrived today, are they actually displaying?
I know the P-51 and P47 are due to display but is this a late addition?

Ultimately Warbird Flights updated their Facebook about an hour ago confirming the P-51 and P-47 displaying at Duxford, didnt mention the rest of fleet though.
Would love it to be true though.
