Danish F-16 also added to flying and static displays. Shaping up to be a really impressive show.

No Blackcats and no Commando assault this year, all down to a lack of man power and resources. Talking to the Wildcat pilot (who should have been leading the Blackcats this year) at the helicopter park at Weston Air Festival yesterday (Sat 17th).

Bit more gossip gleamed from the Navy Wings stand at Weston Air Festival Sunday. All being well they should have the Sea Vixen on static display, showing the work they have already done and the amount of work that needs to be done. They are also pushing very hard to have the Sea Fury back flying for Air Day.

I missed this when it was posted on the 16th June on the Air Day facebook page.
ROYAL DANISH AIR FORCE SPECIAL LYNX REVEALED
The Danish Lynx fleet is in its final year of operations after 37 years of service and to mark the occasion they have painted a special scheme Lynx. This colourful Lynx is one of a number of aircraft types that will be in special markings at the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton International Air Day on Saturday 8 July.https://www.facebook.com/yeoviltonairday
