Yes I believe it is - should also be the final year for flying for 914 (although that has been said before!)

ZJ913 has just been pulled out of a HAS at Coningsby in the new paint scheme, it's done in the style of a 1944 D-Day Hawker Typhoon.

Green/grey camo, invasion stripes and a yellow leading edge.

Looks the business.

I'm sure there will be some official shots shortly.

Looking at the Typhoon display teams social media it seems this years display jet is going to be revealed on Monday.

I hear it's a good one!

Nothing official yet, but should be either w/c 2nd or 9th September based on previous years. Let's hope it happens! The reasons for the March running being cancelled was lack of foreign participants, with only German Tornados on the list to attend, and that Waddington would be busy with other things...

3x 9 ship full displays today, from start to finish.

Red 11 was on a photo chase (presumably) for the last slot.

Some of the rejoins need tightening up, but a very smart display, bit different to recent seasons.

Thank you.

FR has the callsign as NAF 78.

This trip had been on the cards for a while, it finally came off yesterday with a 45 min warning. Great to be so close to the action. Crew in, see off and taxi out. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53634682877_3d48c2583a_h.jpg DSC_4044 by Mike Hiley , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535...

The team managed two more 9 ships today, they had 11 jets on the line.

11 jets are planned to leave for Croatia on Thursday.

XX295 is inbound Valley, presumably to pick up the next jet (unless it's a sim day!)

Thank you.

Another new Red just arrived at Waddington, no callsign as no scanner, showing as test0001.

Any tie up?

Believe it did a test flight out of valley as well today.

I think what Pol is referring to is the direction the aircraft went in - ie towards the tower/other aircraft/hangars.

At 1.40pm on Tuesday 26th March, emergency services were called to attend a crash involving a light aircraft at IWM Duxford. We are sad to report that the pilot, a man in his 50s from the Bedfordshire area, did not survive the crash. Despite the best efforts of medical crews, he was pronounced dead...
