That sounds better, hope they're right!

Regarding the Lanc, it does say 'flypast' on the website, so it may be just that, rather then a display together with topside view as seen recently?

BBMF Flypast = three passes. The evening show was a "flypast", but it was a series of three topsides. :up:

Yes as long as it's at least two good topsides I'll be happy.

Merlin from RN just landed for static show - good to see RN supporting the show and you can usually go on board which is always nice!

TFC say the wildcat flew this afternoon

My phone says rain tomorrow, which seems at odds with most other forecasts.

Both my weather apps say sunny spells and light winds.

I have everything crossed for the Edwardians as I’ve never seen them fly (wind always out of limits)!

The forecast for Duxford today is rain and thunderstorms. I'm eating my lunch under blue sky and sunshine. Go figure.

An Avro 504k is nestled in the World War One Hangar, I thought it would be the aircraft that flies for the Great War Display Team, it isn't. Anyone know where the aircraft is from? Don't think I've seen it before.

Link for those with Facebook.

Thank you. Must have missed that browsing on my phone.

Just need to make a decision now.

Same here, had a wisdom tooth out yesterday and my jaw is quite sore. I don't really fancy driving back to Manchester in a lot of pain.

Don't know where it's from but the Navy Wings one is meant to be there as well but both are listed as static which is a real shame.

If its not the house Avro 504 and its not the GWDT's then it must be G-EBHB\E2977 owned by Thomas Harris. Colour scheme seems to match.

Meant to be 3 on static inc the collections.

Has the Navy Wings 504 moved to GWDT as its listed on both websites with GWDT listing it as a new addition for 2018 (unless its still part of Navy Wings collection but displaying as part of GWDT.

Either way great to see all three flying versions together but shame they are static (maybe flying for WWI show in July?).

Weather looks a lot more favourable for tomorrow than it does for Cosford next week.
