Source?

The teams display calendar has been released today.

All i'm asking is that the source is added when news is posted

For example:

RAF Chinook display confirmed: www.example.co.uk

That's all!

Does anyone know if any show participants operate out of Brize Norton?

Does anyone know if any show participants operate out of Brize Norton?

Not normally, unless Brize based aircraft are involved in a fly-past over RIAT.

In 2012 a flypast involved the Brize Norton based aircraft, they operated out of Brize but other than that, no.

As Mike said, no, but sometimes the Hercules from Jordan arrives a few days before then has the short trip to Fairford

Thanks for that, I've managed to get a holiday cottage at Alvescot for RIAT this year.

Tickets will sell out fast for RIAT now. Did my first 3 day stint last year and have booked for the same this year. Bring on the show.

Great News. Hope they put one on static(next to a F35). Wonder which Squadron/wing will supply the a/c. We had(525th) AK the last time so maybe Langley(FF)?
