Unlikely, as, unlike when it last appeared at Duxford, Cambridge Airport is no longer open to visitors at weekends, I believe (e.g. Pat. Suisse to Waddington in October 2022).

As expected, the BBMF have been removed from the flying list due to the tragic accident at the weekend.

Anyone for the serials

Anyone know if the Rafale is due to practice at Duxford on Thursday or Friday before the show? As I was planning to come down but can't make both days.

[jasonT1981]

Rafale is back to 2 days, and a Swordfish added.

[Harv94]

Has anyone got a schedule for the show or know when it will be published?

Thanks, H

We’re sorry to confirm that due to poor weather conditions across Europe, both the Canadair Sabre Mk 6 and Flying Bulls P-38 Lightning are now unable to transit to their UK airfields to display at this weekend’s Duxford Summer Air Show D-Day 80.

Despite these regrettable changes, we have an exciting line up of aerial displays and lots to see and do on the ground.

We thank all those attending for their continued support and look forward to seeing you this weekend.

That is really bad news. Two star items gone!!
The tempest cancellation before was another star item cancelled!!
What a downer at the last minute!!

[jasonT1981]

Will Duxford replace them I wonder? Midlands have gotten the OV10 Bronco at short notice with the cancellation.

And now a jet provost to replace the sabre.

[jasonT1981]

Following our earlier announcement, we're pleased to announce a number of additions to this weekend's flying list. The following aircraft will now display on both Saturday 1 June and Sunday 2 June:

- The Curtiss P-36C Hawk of The Fighter Collection
- The Curtiss P-40F Warhawk of The Fighter Collection
- The Grumman F4F Wildcat of The Fighter Collection

We are also pleased to confirm that a Supermarine Spitfire PR.XI of the Aircraft Restoration Company will also display on Sunday 2 June.

As always we thank those attending for your continued support.

[red leader]

Very welcome additions.

[jasonT1981]

Are they actual replacements though or would they have been added anyway I wonder lol.

[Harv94]

Has a display schedule been published for tomorrow yet?
