Any visitors for Duxford this coming weekend (26th / 27th May)?
Hi All,
Does any one know if there will be any visitors at Cambridge City for this weekends Duxford Airshow?
I believe last year the Rafale was based there when they displayed at one of the airshows (and poped up to Duxford for a practice on the Friday afternoon, which was awesome!), wondering if they are doing the same for this weekend's airshow?
Cheers,
Matt

I'm hoping so, there's a NOTAM up for formation flying on Friday, but I guess that could just be for the Duxford warbirds etc.. My fingers are firmly crossed they will and the Rafael with too.. would make a fantastic start to the weekend if they both do! : o )
Hoping someone in the know will let us know?!

Re: Any visitors for Duxford this coming weekend (26th / 27th May)?
Only got eight of the alpha jets as two were already in and heat haze at the ' wrong end ' was a problem as the first batch turned off short. But any way a quick and dirty log
E44 / PDF 1 F-UHRE
E87/ 2 F-TELC
E68/ 3 F-TEMO
E152/ 4 F-UHRT
E146 / 5 F-UHRR
E98 /6 F-TEMF
E113 /7 TD
E139 /8 F-UGFC
???? /9 ??
??? / - ??
I required 3 of the above so quite surprised
(Edited for serials read off on subsequent practice display)

14:40 AAC 445 Army Apache over flew south to north
Re: Any visitors for Duxford this coming weekend (26th / 27th May)?
Based on callsign (FAF609) and hex (3B7682), I would say that #9 is E45/F-TETF.
FAF601 was hex 3B7683 = E44 = #1
FAF605 was hex 3B763B = E146 = #5
FAF601 was hex 3B7683 = E44 = #1
FAF605 was hex 3B763B = E146 = #5

Anyone know what was the Herc that was by the A400 just before 12.00 (before the Danish came in), please?
Cheers, Bob

Hi Bob ... I didn't bother noting it as it was an RAF one.
Alpha Jet #9 was E45 / F-TETF, the other ended in "NE"

The RAF C-130 C5 was ZH 885 by the GAR A400.
Re: Any visitors for Duxford this coming weekend (26th / 27th May)?
That would make it E73/F-TENE.
Many thanks, John.

Fr.AF Alphajet c/s FAF609 departed as expected (11:00LT). Showing as E73 on 360R.
E44 (on 360R) just airborne too at 1115LT, c/s FAF601 and FAF605 should also leave soon
and E146 now airborne too 1131LT
