Saw what I thought was my first F35 today, briefly, when I was at work and heard a similar sound 5-10 minutes later but unsighted. Using the playback features on ADSB and FR24 there is no sign of any jets in my area. Do the F35's show up on these sites?

Very rarely. Mode A.

Just got a notification that tickets for this years show are now on sale. Hope you've got big wallets.....

Just a trade show now. Not an airshow so to speak. I have had my last Farnborough show

Hi, this is a complete stab in the dark and pure speculation but could the increase in Crash Cat have anything to do with 2Excel's 'Excalibur' flight test bed (ex Titan Airways Boeing 757-200) that was operating out of Boscombe a few months back? Maybe it's making a return? I guess time will tell, ...

Very nice additions. Cant remember the last time I saw Spanish F-5s

It won't be the last update from the Spanish

Interesting comment, Do you know something we don't Pete?

Wouldn't be the first on the forum if that was the case.....just saying.

I'd happily take all of them!

First, you don’t know what is and isn’t flying; even the planners in DBH won’t yet. Second, DBH can ask and ask and ask but ultimately can only put in the flying display that for which they have permission. The can ask, absolutely. But I'd there's no f-16 demo, then how can they ask. As far as I kn...

It's awesome celebrating the anniversary of the f16 with no actual flying f16s!

Recognise a few of those names Pete, also Keith from Maryport(?), sadly no longer with us. Tristram was a top bloke, I think he rejoined the RAF as a reservist Air Traffic Controller and did a tour in the Falklands. There was also at one point, a Para Major FAC, Scottish bloke, looked a bit menacin...

Used to happen a fair bit... hope you got a shot? The usual FAC at Wiley Sike was a top bloke called Tristram if anyone remembers him - think he was TA?. Guess they dont do 'bombing' at Wiley Sike these days? "Tristram" that name rings a bell. I assumed they were all Special Forces, as they looked ...

I was there that day and many other days throughout the exercise. amazing memories

I'm not quite an old fart, but yes. I was part of the "Thursday club" at spadeadam for around 18 years. Had some incredible times. Alwinton and Ros Hill were also favourites of mine. Remember standing up on the hills with the F3s capping overhead and pouncing on the extreme low level gr1/4s, harrier...

Stunning mate

Original timings were given as 1535-1635. Don't panic. Take a breather. Chill out and just wait.

First shot is wonderful.

Probably the 3 spits that do the early morning scramble.

Beats blue sky shots any day of the week, mate.
