The RiAT checklist has the Italian Harriers down as AV-8B MM55032 and the two seat TAV-8B as MM7200. However the 2023 Scramble EU serials book nd Threshold list MM7200 as AV-8B and MM55032 as The TAV-8B.




Kevin

Required the 9 Red Arrows Hawks seen overhead Duns Tew (north Oxfordshire) at 15:17L this afternoon. One was showing on ADSB as XX310.

A bit of a long shot. Required a Blue and white AB212 or AB412 (possibly Police) that overflew Pisa at low level between 10:30am and 11:00 am local time on the 17/08/2022.

Many thanks

West

Required the Blue & white Dauphin Helicopter (possibly SAS) seen low flying over Bicester at 16:26L this afternoon. Nothing showing on FR24 or ADSB. Was only just above the roofs of houses!!!!.

Thanks Kevin

Its a great shame, i purchased every year as well. I dont understand why Planes TV did not announce that there was not going to be a DVD/blu-ray.

At approximately 18:13L this I saw 2 chinook's near Bicester . 1 was showing on FR24 & ADSB as ZH901 (callsign Pegsus01). Does anyone know the identity of the second Chinook ?.

Many thanks
Kevin

Still leaves the Paul Bowen Trophy (best solo jet demonstration) and the RAFCTE Trophy (Best flying demonstration by an overseas participant) to be accounted for.

Kevin

Thanks for your help
Kevin

Any news of rhe winners of the flying display awards?.
I am surprised there has not yet been an official announcement.

Kevin

Definitely the Korean's followed by the Austrians. I enjoyed both displays. The second part of the QRA demo was very Top Gun .
