No surprise, RAFAT also confirmed.
No doubt the BBMF will be next.

Re: Wales National Airshow 2018
As expected, BBMF.
Or should thet be 'BBMF lite' as they're only getting the Lancaster, one Hurricane & one Spitfire.

Re: Wales National Airshow 2018
See...now that's the sort of update RIAT needs : http://www.walesnationalairshow.com/airshow-news/guinness-world-record-attempt-set-for-the-2018-wales-airshow/
Today an appeal is launched to people coming to the Wales Air Show to do much more than watch. On the Sunday afternoon (July 1) an attempt will be made to break the Guinness World Record for the largest 3 legged race of all time.

There ya go, Chris...another option.
Timings for this year's displays are here : https://ukaviation.news/whats-on-wales-national-airshow-2018/ although it still lists the Catalina as displaying ( presume the Mustang will take it's slot )

2 x Typhoons currently at CWL, with the BoBMF & Reds to be based here for the weekend. So whilst I'm missing the airshow because I'm working, I'll be seeing some of the aircraft anyway as I work at CWL. And the Reds always put on a little bit of a show when they come in to land.

Both of the Typhoons being 'stickered-up' with the RAF100 logo, unless I'm mistaken?

From a distance (they’re over at the flying club) it looks like just one is stickered. Reds due here 14:45.

Re: Wales National Airshow 2018
Not listed on the display schedule ( unless it's on their app. or facebook ) looks like Coastguard AW139 helicopter is currently doing a display/role demo
Confused now...the Pitts Special's ( G-BKDR ) already displayed, but there's another one ( G-EWIZ ) inbound .

Shame about Lancaster, hope it gets airborne; disappointing them going to Saints. Yes, counted 11 in.

Re: Wales National Airshow 2018
Had the BBMF Hurricane & Spitfire orbiting near my location about 10 minutes ago, before running-in for their display.
No sign of the Lancaster, though, and haven't heard any comms from it.
Has it cancelled/gone tech?
