News reports state that in order to save money Flygvapnet is to cancel all air show appearances this year except for those scheduled to be held at Malmö and Umeå.
Apparently another reason is that all personnel are so busy preparing Swedish military aircraft for their contribution to EU forces, they have no time to include air shows in their work.
As a taxpayer I should be glad, but this puts the air shows beyond my reach.
Just as well that I shall soon be going to Duxford (closer than Umeå, anyway)!

Don’t forget we may still see the odd Griffon ( I know its not vintage!) about under the BAe Systems banner, but how does this effect the historic flight? are they grounded?
