Is the Gripen still in the special livery or has it reverted to normal gray again?

Re: Cosford Airshow 2022
Except it will more than likely be based out of RAF Shawbury like all the fast jet acts have been in recent years

Re: Cosford Airshow 2022
Has the Hungarian Gripen been anywhere else in the UK other than Fairford previously? A good catch.
Re: Cosford Airshow 2022
Did it ever visit a Waddington? I recall the Czech with the funky tiger colours one year (2013?) but can’t recall a Hungarian one.
It’s certainly the rarer of the three.
Indeed, has Hungary as a nation visited a RAF Cosford show before?

Re: Cosford Airshow 2022
All of a sudden (discounting the Ukraine situation) the world seems to be looking like a better place. I shall be saying 'szia' to the Magyar Gripen and grateful to see the PBY-5A again.
Ticket confirmed over the weekend.

Re: Cosford Airshow 2022
Team Raven are a good display and are moving to a 6 ship again for the first time since 2016. They are more a sea-side show display though, so weird to see them at Cosford. However, they are a very under-rated display on the UK circut, I've seen them many times.
Met the team a few times, great bunch of guys. So I am looking forward to seeing them this year with the 6 ship returning.

Re: Cosford Airshow 2022
Totally agree saw them at Bournemouth in 2018 great display, they were a five ship at the time, look forward to seeing the 6 ship
