Too true And maybe mix up their display a bit

[Blackcat1]

Love it when they play Nessun Dorma at the end.

The Reds should use music as the general public don't want to hear shouting they don't understand.

I personally quite like the shouting as nearly all the displays have music through them along with some commentary.

[Blackcat1]

Always remember Red 1 humming the American national anthem "pretty badly" as they came into land at Mildenhall

I really think you may have misjudged public opinion there, don't they use Queen anymore?

gary your missing the A400m from todays update

[jasonT1981]

It wasn't listed on their aircraft section under Germany.. Only on the update write-up. I assume a website error.

[raptor76]

They are not allowed to do dynamic display. Only at ILA and some local open base days.

[Blackcat1]

I know they aren't flying in the display ! Just seeing them arriving and departing is good enough for me.

[Zonan]

Is there any chance of seeing a B1, B2 or U2 this year?

[paddyboy]

B1s currently grounded for seat issues again

[Stroudy]

Do you know the reason they are not allowed to do a dynamic display?
