And there's a Hawk T1 from Shawbury listed on there too?

Two more static:

- Sea King HAR3, from HMS Sultan
- Whirlwind HAR10, provided by Yorkshire Helicopter Preservation Group.

Hopefully they will bring the gorgeous 84sqn camo one down rather than their yellow rescue example as we are already getting one like that.

You're in luck!

Hopefully they will bring the gorgeous 84 Sqn camo one down.

An incredible effort being made, bravo Just thinking that it all rests on one day having good weather...

[Luke28]

I like how its shaping up, at this rate the statics are going to be lined up all along the Newport Road.

Yep. Bit frustrating it's just the (usual) one day format this year - hope there's time to see everything!

When asked why they couldn't do a two day show, the response was 'We would have liked that, but we can't.'

(Dumb question probably) Is the Hawk T1 Being trailer'd in?

I believe I saw something on twitter earlier saying that it was arriving by road next month

[AARDVARK]

They really need to put on a photography day prior to the event ,simply for the fact that all this effort hinges on 1 day!!

Belgian A109 self confirmed

i was thinking of the possible "photography " event on the Saturday ?

Confirmations today include a flying participant. 2 more Jet Provosts have appeared on the website for static.

Today we've added a huge assortment of historic aircraft to our participation list, for both the flying displays & RAF100 static exhibition, on Sunday 10th June.

Appearing at the show for the first time will be Hawker Hurricane P2902! This aircraft has recently been restored to flying condition and wears the markings of 245 Fighter Squadron, coded DX-R, and Black/White underside. This aircraft will perform in the flying display.

A number of other warbirds will be appearing as part of our unique line-up of 100 Royal Air Force aircraft types, including Hurricane P3717, Harvard FE511 & Tiger Moth T7109.

Spitfire N3200 also confirmed in the flying display today.

Would think the better day would be to leave the aircraft in situ, then when all the stalls and clutter as gone,
They have a week or following weekend photo calls.
It's not has if these statics need to be moved back in monday or trailers in asap to move them away.
Charge a resonable price and make more money off the back of all this effort.

So the Monday after then?! Deal- I'm in!!

[Wrexham Mackem]

Gets my vote. I hadn't thought of the 'after the show' angle at all.

I don't know how accurate the information is, but I was told some of the airframes coming by road/or otherwise at Cosford already (Black Mike) are working on a return almost immediately after the show has finished. Therefore, it could be difficult organising a photoshoot beyond the weekend.

I do agree though some sort of small event would be great. Should have been two days!

At current count(I think) there is 38 Aircraft on static... 62 to go ?
