Display Tucano.........

[Unknown74]

When is the 2010 Tucano Display Aircraft being unveiled, I believe it's going to be sporting a Spitfire Type Scheme like a certain Hawk 2 years ago.

I think he means when is it going to be rolled out?

[garethbrum]

Not sure he did - but it'll be mid April I believe. The aircraft now have paint on them..........

[Ben Montgomery]

Good stuff, looking forward to seeing them!

Decided to have a blast out on the Bike after work this evening and ended up at Linton.
Just arrived to see the camo Tuc depart and carry out a practice display, this was around 4.45pm.
After finishing it's display it disappeared in the general direction of Church Fenton, it was gone about 10 mins then arrived back and carried out a second display before landing.

Cheers
Colin.

Nice one Colin - one aircraft up and running, the second one is being balanced etc after painting.
