If it's classified as a heavy under ICAO regulations, I'm just not interested. OK?!!!!

Well I'd assume you've signed some for of NDA so even confirming something isn't coming is surely a breach of that, so anything you say needs to be taken with a pinch of salt - clearly that's why you've stayed quiet about the Kazakh Flankers.
It's the Australian Growlers that are going to look great :crazy_face:

Well there was some sort of update, Alexandra Burke has given birth to her first child!
Does it have a jet engine or a prop?
Not sure but I hear it's bloody loud.

Thanks all for the comments - Gothenburg. I have rebooked but it is a day earlier and go back a day later. Not the end of world just more expense, prob about 200 pounds. I may be able to get compensation for the outbound. Now I will just wait until they cancel the rebooked flights (and that's happened before!)

I think the prospect of warm temperatures is baked in now. What's still uncertain is the possibility of precipitation due to the heat. Also, the high pressure will cause haze which isn't great for photo's.

“They will fly with the Red Arrows” - did we know that already or is that new (albeit unsurprising) info?

Why choose Salisbury when you can travel further and go to Basingstoke? Sorry, Amazingstoke!

Has it been mentioned previously if the Black Eagles will be based at Fairford or Boscombe over RIAT weekend?
