Interestingly the RSAF are receiving the PC21 along with the hawk Mk165 and their pilots are going thro training at Valley (plus coningsby on typhoons) at the moment
I wonder if its connected with this or a RAF/training provider evaluation for future ops with this type from Valley (as already rumoured?)

I Suppose they may be flights of two as same callsign but different aircraft.

Also I read in an earlier post from tombsrip about the RAF evaluating PC21, This is not

so as the Accent group have chosen T-6 TEXAN II, They will also get Grob120TP and Embraer Phenoms

that is why they were parked together at RIAT15.

There should be 7 in total. 3 flights of 2 and a singleton bringing up the rear.

At midday on Monday 4 Swiss could be seen outside the hangar :
A-103,104,105 and 106

Plus I could read A-107 in the hangar that is on the west side of the field visible from the beach carpark .
