Hey U74,

Are you coming to the Airshow? If so it would be good to meet up to explain to you from a military perspective the answers to a lot of your questions that have been posed over the last couple of years in relation to Leuchars losing Typhoon and airshow aircraft participation.

I for one, living in the Highlands, have never seen the Police helicopter and I would imagine they will put on a decent capability display.

Regards

The Police helicopter will only be static. It'll be replaced soon- so good if you want to have a look at the current one, but that's C**vy talk! :whistle:

We all know the reasons why Leuchars has "lost Typhoon" and its certainly nowt to do with the RAF!

Noticed that the Belgian f16 Demo team are free that weekend, and at Jersey four days later. :whistle:
That would be nice.

edit- They're displaying at Cadiz on the following day.

I wondered why other shows were getting the Tunnan and Leuchars was getting the Hunter. Must have been tech. The 111 hunter pic is still the Swedish one! odd.

Edit- Changed now to pic of 111sqn coloured hunter G-FFOX

Swedish Hunter display is more dynamic than the Tunnan, with a fantastic sporty take off too!

Tunnan is still a superb addition.

Doubt it Dunk, they wouldn't even put a Tonka out for Lossie's Families day when the Tornados were here in 2007 :(
Maybe Warton could help and send a Saudi marked Typhoon?

Still I'm looking forward to it.
