My mother was running a cake stall at Ely marketplace last Saturday to raise money for the British Legions 90th Anniversary and ended up chatting to a lady who turned out to be the wife of an Osprey pilot who was going to be on the new squadron at Mildenhall, would have thought this means that they ...

I think it is a Nord 1500 griffon.

I do like the artwork!!

An update on the Duxford website, take a look a this lot

Could be one of the shows of the year at this rate with C-27J, F-15E, Apache and Sea King all flying so far!!!!

From the looks of it the bird itself is actually quite a bit higher than the aircraft. Closest i have seen was actually on my gliding scholarship, simulating a launch failure so was banking fairly heavily to get into the circuit off of the runway line, and as i looked down the wing a buzzard flashed...

Nice shots. Don't recognize the aircraft in 8,9 and 11, what is it?

Always enjoy looking at your images, and these certainly don't let you down. Really outstanding shots you post, every time!

That is a real shame about the mirages, was really looking forward to seeing some of those tiger schemes.

Nope everything listed is static apart from the Vulcan.

You can always use the RIAT thread on here!

A good update for me, really good to see so many classic jets are going to be there this year!

Question from this thicky twin, what is the plane directly above the Alpha and in front of the Iskra please ?

It is a CASA 101 Aviojet of Patrulla Aguila the Spanish Air Force display team.

That is a fantastic photo, cant imagine how exciting it must have been

Static by the looks of it, still a fantastic addition.

Really like the first, but they are all really good and sharp. Lovely light on them as well.

Looks like a Ukrainian Su-27 And Il-78 have been confirmed today at the press conference (reported on UKAR)

Also says on Ms Demeanors Display date calendar that there is the potential for a formation with Team Viper so if they go, and Duxford could be persuaded to get the Sea vixen as well, this could be one of the shows of the year!

Program is the same for both days normally unless they break something

This looks like it could be a very good one, Already confirmed are French Alpha jet, Miss Demeanor, and Red Arrows one day only. And now being reported on UKAR that the USAF F-15E demo is also going to be there

Ah right, thanks for that.
