'Big flying announcements' coming soon, according to the IWM.

Sorry MRTT, have we had the big announcement as in what was in the original list of RAF aircraft now confirmed or is there still more to come. Very very impressive already but your comment was after the list with these already listed.
Just booked my tickets for Sunday.

MRTT posted the big announcement announcement on Sun Jun 24. RAF announcement was made on Fri Jul 20 a month after that post. I believe MRTT is updating the list in the first post as additions are made.

Hi Brian. Yes as I had really worked out, as stated the RAF editions were in the original post but probably not actually confirmed.
Can't believe this line up, too many of my own favourites there for me to pick any real stand outs. think there is something there for everyone.
Well done IWM and all involved for bringing all this together after a busy season already.

[MRTT]

Certainly looks to be one of the best Duxford line ups for quite some time.

[Pen Pusher]

Yes as I had really worked out, as stated the RAF editions were in the original post but probably not actually confirmed.

Lancaster, Red Arrows and Typhoon 4 were the only RAF aircraft listed in the original IWM list. Just checked.

Hi Brian. Again all I was pointing out was the second thread was after the first line up that not just me but everyone can see DID have all RAF participants listed...…

MRTT'S first thread was dated - 27th MAY.

Royal Air Force
Battle of Britain Memorial Flight- Avro Lancaster B.1 'PA474' (F)
The Red Arrows- 9x BAE Systems Hawk T.1A (F)
Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 (F)- 29(R) Squadron
Westland Puma HC.2 (F)- 33/230 Squadron

Second thread was dated 24th June.

Big flying announcements' coming soon, according to the IWM.

[MRTT]

I added the F-35/Tornado etc to the list after the announcement was made, not at the end of May.

[Unknown74]

Unfortunately I've got family commitments that Weekend would have loved to have attended this.

[peasus911]

Presumably as the show has a B.O.B. theme, I hope we see a return to the skies of the three Hispano. Was very jealous that they were flying together last month and couldn't make it.Going to be interesting what formations will be created with such an array of aircraft to choose from. Might also be investing in a flightline walk as well. Also very much looking forward to seeing the Puma fly as well. We forget these often common place airframes and then all of a sudden its too late.
Think Brian will be busy during the run up to this event, will be watching with eager eyes.

[Pen Pusher]

Batteries are charged and SD cards formatted.

They are only called Battle of Britain airshows as they take place in September which was when the turning point of the Battle of Britain took place. In the 1960's nearly every RAF station had a Battle of Britain airshow and not a warbird in sight.
