I'm hoping that with the Yorkshire Airfest now only being the 1 day and confirmed the Swedish Historic Flight they have shared the cost with Yeovilton as I'm on holiday down that way so would be a good chance of getting to see them.

In other news (from their twitter feed) Corsair will be flying with the SeaFire

all information from the Air day Facebook Page.

Sea King HC4 – Fleet Air Arm Museum (Static)

PARTICIPATION NEWS:
This year will be the last time the resident Lynx HMA8 helicopters take part at their home airshow. As part of Air Day's Lynx send-off the show will be opened by the Lynx Wildcat Maritime Force with a diamond four formation. The Wasp HAS1, the predecessor to the Lynx, originally taking part in the static display will now perform in the flying display. The Wildcat HM2, the Lynx replacement, will be skilfully demonstrated by the Royal Navy Black Cats Display Team. Finally, don't miss an action packed Maritime Role Demo which will feature up to four Lynx helicopters as we bid them an Air Day farewell to remember.

Note that display distances are the same regardless now, so CAA rules would be the same as MAA rules have been for a while.. ;)
