RAAF F-111 Waddington?!

[Trenchard]

It would appear the fleet has been grounded.

Before anyone jumps on me for being a doom and gloom merchant, I realise the grounding appears to be temprorary and precautionary, BUT its things like this that colour the decisions made by those who say yes to it travelling as far as our shores.

Yes its true the fleet has been grounded ... Could this lower the chances of a display this year!!

found it on the AirForces Monthly website.

Key.aero's F-111 Article - May not be the fire incident that could scupper plans, but a lack of a C-17!

We can only keep our fingers crossed on this one now.
I believe there are 3 F-111s on static display in the UK.

1 x F-111F at Cosford
1 x F-111E at Duxford
1 x F-111E at Lakenheath (although disguised as an F model)
