Demonstrators and in-development aircraft are not allowed to fly in any air-show. Only demonstrators of the home-country are allowed, because its own plots are involved in testing.
I have been attending airshows in the UK for the past 30 years and more.
You are mistaken.
… really bloody expensive for us non MAN folk who would visit it and stay the day.
There’s no reduction for Mancs, you know! 🙂
Also the viewing balcony at the control tower (free) is excellent, they have the occasional flyin see http://www.cityairportltd.com it beats the runway viewing park every day…

So it should be doing plenty of public shows in the US then :p
Also in Italy and Japan…. :diablo:
Seriously, though, I think Garry has hit the nail on the head.
interesting, whats the reason for its return before the public days?
