Did the F-16 display or just recce the airfield? Just mulling over whether to head up tomorrow or not?

[RinkyDinky]

Thanks mate, I heard him on the scanner saying he was going to just recce the airfield and return to Brize but if he's displayed then that saves me a trip tomorrow

[Cole]

Its was a recce, not display.

[RinkyDinky]

Wasp displayed

[Cole]

Whisper is getting round that the rafale could display at 4

[capercaillie]

I take it that whisper is for today rather than Sunday's timing?

If so saves me a trip out tomorrow.

Really hoping they rehearse tomorrow. Obviously going to see it on Sunday, do not get me wrong, but that’s facing the sun.

Rafales (plural?!) and a Transall in support have apparently arrived at Shawbury.

Which museum lent them the Transall?

[Cole]

Hopefully today to validate.. all rumor tho, nothing confirmed

Support is a Casa 235.

Although the show's official Facebook/Twitter accounts did state it was a transall, before being corrected

[capercaillie]

Don't tell anyone, but we knew that already

Someone on here reported it arriving yesterday.

[purple_95]

According to a Facebook group (not always the most reliable of sources) a Hawker Hunter has turned up at Cosford today, can only assume if correct its one of the HHA ones arriving for the static display but seems a bit unlikely. I'm wondering if someone has simply made a mistake and it was something else, or one of the HHA ones was up on a routine flight and just happened to be near Cosford at the time.

Hi All

Just wondering if any of you wise old owls would have the best frequencies to listen to ATC whilst at the show on Sunday?

Many thanks in advance.

[Tom105]

One of the HAA ones ZZ190 was airborne heading for teeside earlier
