Red Arrows for Friday and Saturday again

I'll update the list of participants.
Let's hope we finally get to see a 9-ship at Ragley!

[rdchawk]

RAF typhoon 2nd to 4th.

[IP1960]

RAF typhoon 2nd to 4th.

Typhoon only Friday and Saturday. I see the Reds are doing a flypast on the Sunday, not mentioned in their press release yesterday. Probably as last time there was a flypast in 2021 people got annoyed as they "thought" it was a full display!

[IP1960]

BBMF confirmed for all three days, Friday and Saturday the Lancaster joined by Spitfire and Hurricane, just the two fighters on Sunday. RAF Falcons and the Tutor are also confirmed for all three days again as last year. EDIT Tutor only Sat and Sun.

Great RAF support again this year.

[IP1960]

Participant listing updated - Yakovlevs removed following their sad decision to end displays with immediate effect and not at the end of the season. BBMF listing for Sunday adjusted as only Hurricane displaying. Team Raven look to be appearing, but await confirmation of which days. Further aircraft due to be announced apparently, particularly for Sunday.

[IP1960]

Team Raven confirmed as replacement for the Yaks on Saturday and Sunday

[Comet102]

Is the Hurricane displaying on Sunday or just a flypast?

It isn't listed on the BBMF website for Sunday.

[IP1960]

Is the Hurricane displaying on Sunday or just a flypast?

It isn't listed on the BBMF website for Sunday.

It is supposed to be a display. I'm guessing the website is only listing all the main displays, and all the single aircraft displays will be confirmed in due course. Hope so anyway!
