I can't say I'm surprised. In the year leading up to the 2017 show I got the vibe that they were not really bothered about it.

My local online rag is going somewhat overboard about the fly past of the Red Arrows and Sentinel/E-3. It would suggest to me that the organisers are desperate to drum up some enthusiasm for what is a deeply disappointing line up. It would also suggest that they won't be adding much else or anything...

I was really pleased when the show was announced but when I saw how much the tickets were I decided that was far too much for me. £39 for a show that was always going to be thin in content is ridiculous.

I believe the Islander/Defender was ZH002 AAC 595

It appears the Sentinels luck has finally run out. They don't seem to have been in service all that long
