The Typhoon is also down to display but I don't know what time.Does anyone know if the Reds are up first and what time does the Flying display normally start ?Thanks in advance folks for any info.

[RS2]

Hi Typhoon 3,

Believe this is landowners day so three display items if there is a Typhoon, as well as Reds and BBMF is quite generous.
On past event the landowners are often flown in DHFS helis during the morning, there is then a role Demo with a Griffin pair and sometimes a flying item or two.
I think landowners stay for a bit of food so I think the display times have varied in the past, but obviously there is a RAT in place for the Red Arrows as above.
Last landowners day there was just the Typhoon and Griffin demo and last time I saw the Reds there again it was just Reds and role demo for the Landowners day.
Hopefully someone with on site info may be able to provide full details but don't expect a full afternoon display, like some of the old families days.

The Tucano was ZF263, the Hawk XX294. Also present was Griffin ZJ708/K which was towed out of the hangar after the ceremony before departing to Valley.

As is often the case, the aerial demos were far more entertaining than the usual airshow fare. First time for sure I've seen heli borne troops fight off an attack by a chicken and a crocodile on bicycles.
