Thanks for posting, hope it all goes ahead as planned.
Any chance of Saturday’s programme being posted?
What’s your source for that?
MS308…surely not. It also lists only one Skyraider; there are two at DX.
It looks pretty real, I really hope it is – it looks awesome – but where did you get it?
Any word on the Kennet Skyraider? Has it been sorted out after the other week?
IIRC, it was mentioned on here that the DC3 in question was practicing a solo routine yesterday. Perhaps the crew aren’t cleared for formations, so will be flying solo at the show?
As am I!
It would be awesome if they could arrive back at DX in formation for a run-in-and-break on the Sunday, or for that matter, fly an 8th AF quartet, with six P51C/Ds as escort, on the Saturday…mmmm
TFC’s Corsair will be there, maybe the Jacquard F4U (?) as well.
Great stuff. 🙂
A lot of highlights this year, which is excellent to see. I’m looking forward to seeing whether this means a reduction in Spitfires and Mustangs, sacrificing quantity for quality? Either way, it looks to be a cracking show.
BTW any idea who were flying the P39 & P40?
Any idea what the support AC for the B17 is?
The flypast practice is happening tomorrow, hence why the foreign heavies are arriving today. Or at least I guess that’s the reason.
I’ll second that!
Is the Vimy there or was that just a wild rumour?

🙂
Does the note mean that all elements will return to DX before heading home?
CAA regs I think – no single engine fighters over London, with the BBMF Spits/Hurricanes as exceptions, as they’re officially RAF aircraft. They deem that an engine failure would be catastrophic as the aircraft cannot rely on a secondary engine or prolonged gliding abilities to avoid the built up areas in such a situation. Or so I believe anyway.
Excellent 🙂
I’m very glad I’m able to go both days this year!
Good God 😮 😮 😮
Where did you get the info from, out of curiosity? If its all correct, then by-God, its going to be a cracker. Swiss B25, Dutch Catalina (which I understand, however, has engine probs atm, any updates?), Pink Lady, 5 Rapides..woot!
