RNLAF F-16’s planned as;

J-014
J-017 (my jet, so lets bring the RH side photos up! )
J-146
J-197 (Farewell Falcon tail)

J-017 should be replaced by the J-641, jets are airborne from Volkel!

Does anyone know if the Turkish F4s have arrived or when they are due?

[Mike]

Both arrived yesterday.

Anyone from the North West, avoid using the M5 - A417. There are horrendous road works on the 417 from the Air Balloon roundabout. And the M5 northbound is shut from Strensham services - massive diversion. You might be better to go via M6 - M42 - M40 - A40?

[James Cutting]

Will typhoon be displaying today

A BAE Systems Typhoon from Warton late this morning. RAF tomorrow and Sun.

[Gary]

What's going on with the traffic this year. Been in the Blue route queue for an hour. Hope they get it sorted for the main show days

[Harkins]

Anyone know if West P&V is accessible today?

[Pat Murphy]

Has anyone access to today's Sheet of Lies?
Particularly would like to confirm the Greek F4's arrival time

[James Cutting]

1526L from several reports

[James Cutting]

Anyone know if West P&V is accessible today?

I believe you can walk down to the green end (P&V west) but not open, usually barriered off.

Hungarian Gripen
Draken L-159
RAF P-8
Civvie Kraguj all cancelled

Thank you, hopefully the A417 works should be easier on Saturday than on a Friday, Fridays are always bad on the roads.

Evening all
What was security like today? Last year they were on enhanced security and it took over an hour to get into the ground. Was it like that today?
