From Twitter

Update: Airbus A330 has been booked for the 2010 Military flying display http://is.gd/aWjsP
less than a minute ago via Waddington Airshow

No idea what one looks like, but if it's anything like the 7?7 that cancled, it should be good =))

found where John said it - thanks will check!! -

as an aside I don't see why John is so upset by the closure of the wave - it's always been closed &I expect was in his terms & conditions
