Had the live stream on and off and noticed a rather error-strewn commentary from the normally excellent Mr Maffett today.

Several times referring to Typhoon as Tornado, describing AB910 as P7350 and now a full run down on the P-40 in a colour scheme it hasn't worn for over two years. Apparently the only airworthy P-40 outside America and Australia too...

Edit - A Vulcan topside! Check that out!

Was an okay display by the Vulcan.. Guess with a lower cloud it was expected. But what a great howl.

Superb from the 727. Closing with the sort of missed approach that has been lacking from the Vulcan display too.

Enjoyed The Blades and 727 stunning again. Very good commentary from them too - Natasha I think her name is, knew her stuff. Dakota next by the looks of things.

Which scheme was the Typhoon display? 100 special or Camo?

I'll admit... I'm not much of a prop aircraft guy.... But geez the Blades are a good team.

Can someone correct the commentator about there being other active Jaguars in the World please? :lol: He kept saying Cosford is the only place to see them move.

Just to explain my "clueless" comment, it wasn't her lack of knowledge, just awareness of when to be quiet when the 727 was flying past so we could hear the engine noise!! Ha ha :grin:
(the male commentator had similar problems during the Vulcan display)

Anyone else hear Sean Maffett's Alton Towers/safety comment during the Chinook display? Was I hearing things...?
