Apparently the Belgian A109 have cancelled probably why it only appeared on the official participation list for a short time

[MRTT]

That's a great shame, was looking forward to that.

Thanks anyway, mate.

“People may be interested, this weekend[’s] Rafale display: The display aircraft and a spare will be based out of Cambridge Airport along with a support Casa 235. They will be arriving Friday [and] we expect a practice display Friday afternoon at Duxford. The three will be departing Cambridge Monday at some point”

Tower: 122.075

Unable to find common display frequencies, will do some digging.

[MRTT]

Osprey has arrived.

11-0058 for the number crunchers.

[Tinker Toy]

I unfortunately couldn't get this weekend off work to come and watch the show. I am going to pop down tomorrow, is there anything practicing tomorrow do we know? Looks like a stellar lineup.

[MRTT]

Rafale is due tomorrow afternoon!

I'd expect a few arrivals and, a number of practice displays.

That would make me very happy! I loved the Rafale at RIAT. I am secretly hoping that there will be some warbirds too, I have been itching to try this new lens of mine out!

Thank you for the reply.
