Three have been at Shuttleworth but not flown together.
The Flying Legends Facebook page seems pretty adamant that the DH-9 will make it's debut at Flying Legends. (They even replied in capital letters that it's debut will be at Flying Legends) Unsure with that kind of reply as to whether it's on static or off the list entirely. It is still listed on the Shuttleworth website.

So with the 5 that are planned (according to the list, 2 visiting 504's) this is a rare sight as well (if all fly together)

I think unfortunately Shuttleworth have conflated the two things, listing the show item (i.e. three Avro 504s) and then listing the visiting aircraft separately. It is not the first time I have noticed this in their listings.
Looks like five Hurricanes are at Headcorn over the weekend, displaying at 12:45 on Sunday, so presumably flying into OW just in time for the flying display or perhaps during the show.

I use a 70-300. It's enough for the runway and most passes, but the extra reach will open up more options for you.

i'll just stick with the 150-600 then. if i've got it i may as well use it

Agree with LN Strike Eagle. I used to own a 150-600 and you'll most likely find that most of your shots will be taken between approx 200-350mm but the extra focal length will give you more options for some close ups etc
These shots are some of mine taken at Old Warden with a 7D Mkii & Sigma 150-600 and the focal lengths are stated in the pics info. Pics have been cropped a little but not majorly. Just to give you an idea
