Didn't they get a B-52 flypast a couple of years back as they came over for Baltops?

We did get a B52, but this year there's nothing hidden up our sleeve!

Yes there was one, T-6 Texan II G-CKGW/ (ZM326) was on the static line up in the morning, if no one else will have posted a photo of her I will post a photo tonight (I'm off to work in a bit). We were told that apart from the possibility of a few airframe check rides this year, it will be early 2019 before the aircraft are regularly seen airborne for instructor training then the first student training.

Bit late with providing it, but at least you've now seen the Tucano replacement! LOL

Below is a photo from our official photographer who took advantage of being there 10 minutes earlier than others to get some close ups....

RAF 100 yrs mks on so heading for Fairford then!? Presume no MA Release yet if still wearing UK civil reg? Wonder if OBOGS issue has been resolved yet? Obviously aircraft been ferried across Nth Atlantic at altitudes requiring OBOGS to work!
Nice images. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Before the photocall, nothing was mentioned of the T6 going to RIAT, but now that the aircraft has had a RAF100 sticker put on it I would say it would be a stone cold certainty along with a stickered T2 (air frame ZK031/"V") to soon be announced as going down to RIAT. We have been given no indication of how long the civil reg will remain on them but they should be removed by next January. It seems that the OBOGS problem is being dealt with by Beechcraft/ USAF and then when the cause of the problem is found, the fix will be passed onto the RAF.
