Welcome to the forum madjoe

Unfortunately for a RAF flypast you'd have to be hosting one of the big shows over in England.

Nice one. I'll wait until the start of August and see if I can get some of the shop keepers around Lurgan to display it in their windows.

Some more changes;

No Falcons anymore - can't get jump platform.

Bringing in Sukhoi 26 and Bucker Jungmann.
Concert and fireworks on Saturday night.

That's happened a few times now I believe.

Pity it would have been nice if they could have used a chinook

Tango Tango Fanta · « **Reply #86 on:** July 10, 2009, 02:46:40 PM »

Yes, better knowing now than 2 days before.

Well I remember a few years ago, the weather was terrible, and a good few aircraft couldn't make it in, but the good old Jungmann made it twice in a day, despite the bad weather. It is was nice aircraft to see so I am glad it will be returning.

Great i have never seen one outside of t.v. before looking forward to it.

casper · « **Reply #90 on:** July 20, 2009, 12:13:08 PM »

It's a fantastic sight and sound. It's the same one that was at Enniskillen and Newtownards in 2007.

Tango Tango Fanta · « **Reply #91 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:55:42 PM »

Great news this morning!
As you know Typhoon is doing a full display on Sunday but now the display craft AND the back-up will be doing a high speed formation fly-past on Saturday to whet the appetite.

casper · « **Reply #92 on:** July 21, 2009, 07:43:32 PM »

Brilliant news. Sad to think that I can't wait for August to come and go

String · « **Reply #93 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:31:28 AM »

I was just saying that to my dad he is getting more impatient than ever. but for two typhoons to do a fly-past is fab. CAN'T WAIT i'm drooling with excitement.

So how do we talk them into doing a slow speed formation fly-past?

Dave · « **Reply #95 on:** July 22, 2009, 01:30:22 PM »

It would be fantastic to get at least one day of decent sunny weather at this year's show. This seriously has to be one of the best airshow's in the UK. The variety of aircraft might not be as large as RIAT, etc, but the views you get from the cliffs of aircraft flying only 100 feet away are simply breath taking!

Does anybody know if the the Battle of Britain DC-3, Spitfire and Hurricane will be in formation at all or will they be displaying seperately?

String · « **Reply #96 on:** July 22, 2009, 01:43:04 PM »

Here is their information:- http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/rafcms/mediafiles/F0ED6EA8_1143_EC82_2E4534A1036AA506.xls

Thanks String

I couldn't make heads or tails of that document but I'll take another quick peek tonight as it looks quite interesting!

Hammerhead · « **Reply #98 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:16:03 PM »

I'll be only attending sunday's show so that means saturday's will be sunny and sunday will bucket rain.....

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #99 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:53:31 PM »

The BBMF always arrive and depart in formation with individual displays by each aircraft-normally the Spitfire does the first solo ,then the Hurricane and then the Lanc or Dakota before rejoining for a couple of formation passes.
