Linton on Ouse Graduation 16.06.06

I really need to start going to these events again, always loved the graduations I went to a few years back before other things got in the way.

I was half hoping you might make this one Steven! I was too busy to remind you though! I think it was quite good considering the number of unavailable aircraft due to the flypast on Saturday… 🙂

They tend to get the kind of flypasts that a lot of airshows would be pleased with, the sight of a PR9 back in October 2003 is one I remember particularly well (even if the pics weren’t so hot). Seeing the Red Arrows there is pretty good as well, can get some nice, unusual perspectives.

If anyone lives int he northern half of the country i can recommend spending half a day here . The next graduation date is not known yet.

Sometime in mid August IIRC…

Thanks for the very intresting replies, i just know it as a Tucano regardless of engine size etc.

Yes i did get a shot of the orange one but it had gone slightly past me as i was concentratin gon the grey one as he stayed low and was a better option for me. I will post it later on

The Jags were: 3x flypast, 2x singles about 5 mins apart from CBY and then a flyast from the Boscombe Jag .

Is it derated or is that all the PT6 pushes out?

I’m not entirely sure to be honest. That was a figure for the Embraer Tucano I picked up off the net. Certainly its around 750-800hp having spoken to people about it in the past…

This link seems conclusive… So about 400hp down on the Shorts Tucano, although (with my dodgy French) about 500kg lighter…

Indeed it is a PT6, but with only 750(ish) hp compared the the Garrett engined RAF Tucanos which have 1151hp up the front, so are quite pokey in comparison…

I think you find that is a French Tucano been doing some research.Looking at this pic and this one http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1040780/L/ they look the same might be wrong.

Sorry. Didn’t look further than the cowling. What’s under the bonnet? Looks like a PT6.

Nice photos, Maybe I’ll think about going up to one of these.

That’d be a nice French Embraer Tucano. Two of them (one grey, one white/orange appeared) on Thursday afternoon… Their take off on Friday highlighted the performance differences between the two!

Hot_Charlie – thanks for confirming it was a French Embraer Tucano – I presume the performance of these is poorer – I wish I had seen the Jags – I seem to live next to a low flying route (I must be one of the few in the village that look forward to the low flying! Our cat knows the sound of a Tornado and takes cover when he hears them approach but lately we only seem to have had Apaches- mind you with plenty of warning of their approach I have time to get my camera out – a SAR Sea King has just this minute flown over) so I was hoping they may come below the clouds – but sadly not.

252 – Did you get any shots of the white/orange Tucano?

Is it not a French Embraer EMB-312F Tucano?

Great to see these pictures. I was working from home in the garden yesterday – a short drive away from Linton On Ouse and heard the jets but they were above (or in) the clouds – saw a nice formation of 3 Tucanos in the distance though. Wished I could have been there so seeing these has made up for it.

Having five Jags was quite an achievement too. Shame the Typhoons couldn’t make it, as we then would have had a full house of fast jets…

They haven’t, I think you will find that is a Pilatus PC9. I may be wrong as I’m not up to speed on modern kit.
