It was the 1 Group Industry Day - I think a similar event was held at Coningsby last year.

The display consisted of the following :

* RAF Falcons - jumping from Dornier 228 C-FPSH
* Red Arrows
* Typhoon Solo Display - ZJ917
* F-35B Lightning II - ZM169
* Avro Lancaster PA474

On static were A400M ZM411 and Typhoon ZK340 which both departed after the event.

* Also seen were a trio of C-295s, CC-2 of the Finnish Air Force and 026 and 027 from Poland.
* Red Arrow Hawk T.1 XX221 also arrived from Valley - new airframe for the Reds.
