Does anyone know how to find out the arrival date & time for the RNLAF F-16 next week? Its apparently doing a practice display on the wednesday at Bournemouth?

[Xplumberlives]

I would suggest you look at their website and maybe send them a question!

I attempted to register on there in the beginning of June, but I never got the activation email. After the second attempt I gave-up .

Since then I've just been lurking around there as a guest instead

I've posted the question for you

Bugger, it must be getting too obvious

Here's the replies from UKAR Stiggy:

I've been told that it will be doing a practice display during the afternoon (time unknown), so I would've though it will arrive at Bournemouth Airport on Wednesday morning along with a spare F-16. If it's any help to know... the Breitling Wingwalkers, BBMF, & the Red Arrows are also expected at the airport during the day on Wednesday.

Well the last 48hours has flown by & its been brilliant !

2x Flyovers at my Sisters wedding yesterday courtesy of the Red Arrows, 1x Flyover from the Dutch F-16 (Full power ) and endless amounts of others including the BBMF!

Today I have been camped out at Bournemouth Airport Viewing Enclosure most of the time with Pujgnie. Lots of arrivals and departures for the Air Festival which started today.

I finally ended the evening at Bournemouth beach on the overcliff watching the Dusk Display. A brilliant end to the day! Started with the Red Devils dropping in, Miss Demeanour making lots of noise with the sweeeeeeeetest blue note I've ever heard on her final fast pass (it went on for what seemed ages) , Gerald Cooper displaying the finest aerobatics I've ever seen with the finale coming courtesy of the Swift Team with lots of pyros. Nice!

Pics to follow and also a Full HD Treat of the first arrival of XH558 in to Bournemouth airport since 1991! It was well worth the wait

My brother is on holiday in the Bournemouth area at the moment. Not jealous at all...

He was on the phone to me during the Hunter display (just to rub it in, like ). Sounded pretty good, although I couldn't make out the blue note.

Looks as though everyone's in for a great weekend, weather permitting. Hope all who go have a great time.
