Post by: ToNY89 on August 17, 2011, 06:40:11 PM

info about it?

would make sense seeing as portrush airshow is that weekend, so tornado etc will already
be over

At present all Hawks are grounded pending the outcome of the investigation into the crash.

The Reds have already announced on their website (http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/teamnews/index.cfm?storyid=D54D9D2B-5056-A318-A88B03513AAFB987&rss=true&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter) that all remaining displays scheduled up to 29th August (of which there were 9) have been cancelled.

No mention of Portrush yet but I would be surprised if that goes ahead.

I don`t think it likely that they will perform a full display again this season.
 
 
Some sort of limited display of a 8-ship,in missing man formation over RAF Scampton and other former Reds Bases would be a fitting tribute.

G-PSNO EC-145 was operating around Aldergrove on Saturday,so I assume that`s what it was.
