Nice to see that the RAF have "provisionally accepted", I thought that this was their main airshow these days?

The RAF Falcons appear to have self confirmed themselves for Waddington on their Blog

[tomcat79uk]

Probably attending this with son and daughter.

Took daughter here last year though she found inside a little daunting on the saturday.So we only stayed inside for a few hours before returning to camp site.

The boy was at Leuchars last year and handled that no problem so be good to get them both down here for the show.

[GummyBe4r]

Royal Jordanian Falcons have confirmed!!

[jon93]

Swiss F/A-18 and super puma/cougar added. Look on swiss air force home page.

[Gary]

Brilliant news Wanted to see the Super Puma display for a while

[cottesmore09]

Great news from the Swiss Airforce

[turbosix]

Decent. Feels like a while since Waddo last had a F18 display.

[kevster]

Lets hope he stays around for RIAT....

[Gary]

Both now confirmed on the Waddington website
