Sorry no, they do not give times, just say they will keep disruption to a minimum. Tomorrow if you want I will let you know when runway sweeping starts and when the control van goes out . Is that any use?

After the lunchtime display yesterday 1st, July, 2016 I was monitoring certain frequencies and heard a time of 9.30am on Sunday the 3rd, July, 2016 mentioned as the next practise by the Typhoon for R.I.A.T and Farnborough I think it was about fire cover .
