With the typhoon becoming a FG platform does that mean the RAF will be with out a dedicated Air defence aircraft? or do we not need one anymore

So with the 3 Jag squadrons now gone and one of the Harrier units now in the fighter role does that mean the RAF are 4 CAS/Strike squadrons down??? surley that cant be, if the typhoon units take up the strike role wont that leave the air defence lacking. the Russians seem to building up and we seem to be winding down even further……….

Ive been to lanc site at the Back of lindholme about 10years ago, still remains quite alot on surface so there is sure to be more under the surface, I know 1 merlin was taken and a undercarriage leg but thats nothing ot do with the 1967 dig, The merlin was taken by the SAS I think for a exercise and I know the person who took the undercarriage leg

I think you are missing the point I was making ( nothing to do with the flying programme at either show)……….At Breighton we were told of the situation as we entered the gate that many of the aircraft were not there and flying would be very limited, were as yesterday nothing was known till we were in that a major part of the flying was missing. No were in any of my posts have I slanted any flying or dispaly, I think you should read them again, My gripe so to speak was the info that was given to the public

Looking back at it my first post it was not put in the correct manner and i apologies for this, Unfortunatly Elvington just summed the airshow season this year wet windy and limited aircraft through no fault of the organises, With Elvington been such a cracking event over the years I’d recomended it to many friends and family, over 10 people came in our group and i was more dissapointed for them. Although I do think the RAF (MOD) should pull there finger out and get things sorted, I know the armd forces are overstreched but how can they promote the RAF when they are a no show….anyway I apologies again for my abrupt first post. I will be there next year and will keep promoting the event to who ever may listen!

Good to get a response with a bit of grit in it anyway;)

I’m sorry that you took my opinion as some kind of personal attack but it is a country of free speech after all.

I have been to Elvington many times and I must say its one of the best private museums I’ve been to and airshows BUT I just feel though we were alittle dissapointed with the outcome, surely on the gate we should have been told that alot of aircraft where not coming or there? I went to Brieghton in July when it p i s s e d it down and the communication was much better £16 i Know is not much of an entry fee but when you add petrol and the rest of the family it all adds up. I dont mind paying after all I’ve been to Fairford! and I dont mind the rain, been to Finningley in a September!

I would like your un-offended response to

Why was BBMF only on a Saturday?
Why was Red arrows only on a Saturday?
Where were the RAF? and why arnt they supporting the biggest Airshow in Yorkshire, 1 Tucano aint much

Oh by the way I’ll buy you a pint to show you i’m not that stingy;)

I must say after just getting back from Elvington how dissapointed i am, I know the weather is bad but how can they justify £16 per person when all that i saw flying warbird (military aircraft) wise was 2 hunters and a seafire ALL day, I dont mind paying for myself and the family to get in but surely with so much not been there (that was In the programme) why couldnt they have reduced the price alittle, Elvington was a cracking show a few years ago, whats happened? and as for saying the Vulcan was going to be there, everyone in the know knew there was no chance so why advertise it?

So does this mean that Wickenby will become a home for flyable warbirds?

A friend of mine bought a pair of spitfire undercarrige legs last year from a place near Duxford and he said they had a complete beaufigter at the same place, any info on this?

I know Duxford have one, Theres the one at Hendon, One in Scotland and i believe another in Coventry which makes 4 but due to the above is there 5 complete airframes in the UK???
