Saudi display team

Will the team be based at Waddington again ? It's fair to think they possibly will.

Only for RIAT. They were at Waddo prior to that, getting practice in.

Potentially arriving at Waddo early next week. Hopefully they bring the new jet with them?

I know - I just wondered if they'd bring the new jet over to show it off, but they've said not.

The teams Instagram shows them doing a high level transit and then landing somewhere (Jordan?) in the past few minutes - another post shows them in Cyprus.

Reflection in the cockpit shows the name 'Lingy' - so he's still about.

Hi Tornado17

Caught visual of the team as they were crewing up to leave Souda, unfortunately base security came along and asked me to be on my way, luckily they didn’t see the camera, so unfortunately no pic of them taking off. On a plus, because I left earlier than expected I just so happened to see the USS Wasp sailing into Souda so that more than made up for the earlier misfortune.
Lucky you with the Wasp, are you going to post photos of the aircraft and arrival? We don’t get that lucky in Portsmouth with these ships anymore!!
