Just had a look at the RAF website and looked at display teams section, there is no RAF F-35 Display listed as yet, however it could be an F-35 from elsewhere, if indeed the aircraft hinted at is an F-35.

Ohhhhhh F-35 demo would be good. The BBMF I don't hold out much hope for as it all depends on the weather for them and the weather is never that great even for them to transit over. Could they not attract the likes of the Swedish historic flight etc or is it not within the budget for them? It would need to be a good line up to even consider a run up but if the F-35 is to make an appearance I might consider it.

Yes, the proposed visitors centre, hanger  and restoration of the Canberra they bought never came to be. They couldn't raise the £2.2m needed for the hanger and abandoned plans early 2022.  Nothing has been said about the Canberra in a long, long time.

Sad  state of affairs though Doncaster-Sheffield is due to re-open  so they might be able to keep doing taxi runs.

I had thought it was in storage in a hanger on site, but alas no.

Absolute waste. I didn't even know the airport was abandoned at present either.

Where was Typhoon announced?

I  have a feeling the debut display is the F35 Role  Demo that is new for 2024.

Announced on Portrush Airshow Facebook page along with BBMF:
