I saw a post on FB that there are a couple of Strikemasters due to be there, one has only just returned to the air.

Pair of wildcats inbound at 15:30

I think they are on exercise so might be a gas and go but you never know

That gives the answer to my question on East Anglia Other Airfields. It must be Families Day at Honington too.

But it is correct on the other sheet for the Swordfish. Typos happen, checking less so :whistle:

I didn't wait for the Chinook ( cold beer with my name on it)

Any idea of the Chinook serial for the record?

A very nicely profiled flypast by the 4 Tornados and, if you were at the very eastern end of the ground display area, some good Tornado landing shots (despite a little heat shimmer).
More than made up for the Enthusiasts Day issues - I don't think we'll ever see the like again. Thank you Marham.

Thanks for that

I thought the BBMF was a good display with quite a few passes
