Ayr airshow just confirmed the Lancaster is back on and will close their show tonight after the Eurofighter

1617 NorthAmerican T6 Texan G-BSBG displaying now, don't recall that being on the list,seems it came from Ayr.

There was an Extra NG floating about Magiligan area, but signal dropped off,think it must be one of the Starlings G-NGTC

[rookie]

1745 lancaster flypast now

[Jimi182]

I see a USAF C 130 did a few passes at Ayr.

[angry turnip]

Yeah,it was C-130J 18-5919 as DERBY01

1654 Looks like Rich Goodwin has finished in G-JPIT.

I probably missed a few things due to cutting grass lol.
Not sure about Bronco,Hurricane,SF260,Aerosuperbatics etc.

1703 BBMF Lancaster just took off.

Looks like The Starlings are running in for their display now.

G-NGTC is the active transponder

[Jimi182]

Wimgwalkers complete. Another aerobatic inbound. BBMF in the at Ayr.

Bronco did a brilliant display earlier. Definitely cut it close, like previous displays, to the display line. Aerosuperbatics just completed. No sigh if hurricane or SF260.

[angry turnip]

Thanks for the update,I had a feeling those two would be no shows,being late additions et all

[angry turnip]

1732 Lancaster did a bit around Ayr but may have landed,I don't see it on trackers.

I suspect that may be it, does anyone know was the Airborne Pyroteam thing for later scrubbed ?

[Jimi182]

Lancaster did a few passes off Ramore. I'm not sure how close he got to main display line, again.

[rookie]

Did the Lanc return to Ayr? What was the reason the Hurricane didn't appear. I barely made out what he said it sounded originally that the Lanc and Hurricane weren't getting out of Ayr due to weather on their side?
