Can you buy tickets on the gate for this?

It may not set the world on fire but BA will be providing an LCY based A318 for static display on Sat/early Sunday. It will be open for viewings and to have a chat with the crew on Saturday ( and possibly Sunday morning but not confirmed )

Is the Poseidon flying then? If so, what about in the weekend? Although I have noticed it is Static at RIAT and Waddo...

Thanks.

The P-8 will be flying most afternoons, including the weekend

Where did you get this information?!

Was about to ask the same. It would make sense seeing that Boeing are still looking for sales but I haven't actually heard it confirmed

Clearly my sources are protected..... but it's nevertheless true. She will be flying with a full weapon load too (shapes only of course) another thing not seen at RIAT See you there

If your talking about the weekend, yes. I've been able to do so for previous shows.

Excellent, thank you. In two minds weather (hehe) to go as will have had a busy couple of weeks beforehand.

I can confirm that the two Classic Air Force jet participants will be G-HELV (Camoflague) T.55 Vampire and G-BWMF 'WA591' Meteor T.7. This may have already been posted elsewhere but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere the specific Vampire and Meteor. Although, on the www.classicairforce.com movements page (where the displays for both of those are listed), I cant see any mention of an Avro Anson display so I presume it is the Blue Shuttleworth Anson.

Also, does anyone know when the British Airways A318 is due to arrive?

Cheers

[LukeBrown]

looking forward to the vampire and meteor

Posted on Twitter by Dominic Perry, FlightGlobal's News Editor, a few moments ago:

"No Russian fighters at #FIA14 according to the folk at United Aircraft [Corporation]. Would send the wrong impression given events in Ukraine."

Thought so, anyone thinking the static map lineup was a dead cert had no grasp on global politics. That and the A350-1000 is still in production!

Surprise, surprise. At least Russ doesn't have to eat his hat and I'll save £150.

Whats the news on the Swedish Historic Flight? Thought they listed Farnborough as one of their dates! when is the date for participation released? i thought it was usually at the end of May!

Yeh, hope to see the Saab 35 Draken. It looks like something out of Star Wars.

Looks like P-8 is static only and not flying http://www.airshows.org.uk/2014/airshow ... eview.html

Can not see the P8 on that list!

[MRTT]

Its under United States Navy

I find it ironic that FIA is supposed to be a cutting edge trade show and yet the enthusiasts want to see the Viggen, Me262 and the AV8.

Thank for that, for some reason my browser was loading an old page.

Some of us older enthusiasts still would like Farnborough of old where the latest models were displayed. It was very different to other UK air shows but now it just mimics the rest although admitedly this year they have captured a few gems.

[Airshowhammer]

Hoping the Gripen stays for public days this year!

The week days are a cutting edge trade show. The weekend is not.

[tomw94]

XH558 to be flying at the show? Its part of the flying display on the Farnborough website.

[JJC]

Then I would say it will likely be flying...

[Suki]

3 frontliners flying? pathetic international airshow! compared to Paris/Dubai I can't see Farnborough lasting much longer!

More room for me on the display line as you obviously wont be attending or will you and its just a ploy
