They’ll still have the FRADU Hawks Dave, though it would be much better if they were Hunters!
.

Nah… thats just another RAF jet in RN markings 😀 😀

Whats the story on the lack of Swordfish ? Maybe year after next.. T or F ?

Is that an engineering problem or budgetary constraints ? :confused:

.

Did the Strikemaster or JP display?

Nine Sea Harriers bowing farewell. Oh, well may be another time?

I did hear that a JayPee was gonna replace a Hercules in the program, and i didn’t see a Herk, but i ~think~ i spied a JayPee 5. Maybe somebody else on the display line can confirm ?

Yes, nine SHAR’s would have been good, but alas that really is the last of the last. 🙁

Well considering that the Audrey Heulin Agency (is that how they spell it ?) has put next years event in doubt as they weren’t making enough profit, i think the 50% attendance increase (according to Sean Moffett) may make them re-consider.

Still a cracking day out, but lacking a bit on foreign participation.

Heck not even a Dutch F-16 and thats a first !!

Not enough toilets, over priced food & water etc, etc…. and that ‘final’ Harrier display left me thinking “is that it ?” :dev2:

Still at least next years event, the Navy will have one fixed wing jet left to display… the Seahawk 😮

.

Yes, I,am here 🙂

But of course… where else ? 😉

I ~think~ they only have 4 left airworthy (excluding T.8’s) although one is noisy enough :diablo:

.

According to W&R 19, they have the nose, the ‘plastic pig’ XV279, GR.3 XV779 and T.4 XZ146.

.

Also on display near the stalls was a Harrier Gr.3 cockpit, ID unknown as of yet.

Thanks to Rob for this picture… any idea of an ID anyone ?

:confused:
