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

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

Has the Hungarian Gripen been anywhere else in the UK other than Fairford previously? A good catch.

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?

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.
Now officially qualifies as a 'regular' at Famous Dave's - El Centro

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.
