So the question now is, WHAT are we going to get that makes the trip worthwhile?

558 should make it, but what are the OTHER highlights?

The NZ 757 should be good, if it's anything like th display at RIAT ast year.


And as I said elsewhere, if they can do a Battle of Britain dog fight as good as East Kirkby does, then that'll be my highlight. And it should be, with the amount of Spitfires down to display :D =))
I'm looking forward to a big bang or two =))

I think it's shaping up to be better than last years, Gripen, 757, ME109 and the Great war flypast. Plus, the possibility of a Vulcan.

Oh and I'd walk to Waddington to watch the King Air display.

No Indian helicopter display team, AGAIN, though :(
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

Well whatever turns up no-one can say that DT hasn't tried - remember we gave up holiday time to go see OC 40 Sqn about the 757...........

Let's see if 558 actually flies this year then! I'd also love to see the Apache too. It's about time we had another Mossie flying too.
