I had assumed that’s for a role demo rehearsal ahead of the (cancelled?) Families day on the 31st.

Perhaps they’ve had a change circumstance and it will now go ahead in some capacity. The Gazelle squadron still have it on their schedule.

In case anyone was wondering, the 'MIL REHERSAL AIR DISPLAY' was a practice by the RAF Chinook Display which arrived from Odiham using a 'Skyhook' callsign.

ZA682 (confirmed by photos) was the display aircraft. Also just before this arrived, ZA677 returned via the disused 06 runway

Ex 06/24 are operated as Point West/East on the scanner meaning they can be used for helis but not fixed wing.
