At the inaugural “British Air Displays Association” meeting on 13th April, there was an update on the proposed RAF displays for 2011.
At the moment, the possibility of the RAF Tornado GR4 demonstration is looking more promising and was awaiting a final sign-off from No 1 Group. Reports on local television news channels to RAF Lossiemouth suggest that may have happened and rehersals will start next week.
Sadly however, The Typhoon currently remains suspended. The team are looking at restarted rehearsals as soon as all the required assets are back in place but they have some three weeks of practice remaining to reach the right level for their Public Display Authority. The Display Team have been in contact with organisers regarding the attendance of their ground units at many of the events they may miss. Watch this space.
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Re: RAF Displays UPDATE
Just got back from a day, yeah another one ( ) down at the 05 end of Lossiemouth.
I was expecting to see the role demo as mentioned above but it didn't materialise. So I came back fro some lunch and had a read that the NOTAM had been updated to 15.30 -16.30 so I raced back down to catch them taxing down to 05 and take off. after 1 hour of flying around Alien 1 & 2 did a cpouple of touch and goes then landed.
I am no expert but it looks like they are actually practising for the Airhsow season
The NOTAM is saying 9.30-10.30 tomorrow and NO flying on Friday.
