The Super Hornet will be in the flying display, the aircraft are currently in Belgium, along with the Swiss Hornet and a Spanish Hornet will be on static display.

Nothing. Hornets are proper aircraft. F35's should have collars and be wormed every 3 months. Lol.rva65 wrote:what have the Hornets got to do with the F-35's ?

Well we don't in all honesty need this dog of a plane at RIAT, maybe a major sponsor called Lockheed Martin do, thats what it's all about really, isn't it? yes, we have real planes to stand in awe at, two Su-22 Fitters, A-7 Corsairs, F-18 Super Hornet, Typhoons, Vulcan... Oh hang on!

I would have thought DE&S would be quite knowledgeable and know the status of the grounding considering they are running the UK side of the project.EGCC wrote:And what does the DES or whatever it's called nowadays have to do with bringing F-35s to the UK?city42 wrote:I work at MOD Abbeywood in bristol

According to a news report on the bbc that was aired today , lockheed martin have said that 4 F-35,s would be appearing at Farnbourgh but not at Fairford , i did not see this report personally i was just told about it so i can not confirm its validity .
is anyone else able to add any substance to this story.
