The Super Hornet will be in the flying display, the aircraft are currently in Belgium, along with the Swiss Hornet and a Spanish Hornet will be on static display.

Nothing. Hornets are proper aircraft. F35's should have collars and be wormed every 3 months. Lol.

Well we don't in all honesty need this dog of a plane at RIAT, maybe a major sponsor called Lockheed Martin do, thats what it's all about really, isn't it? yes, we have real planes to stand in awe at, two Su-22 Fitters, A-7 Corsairs, F-18 Super Hornet, Typhoons, Vulcan... Oh hang on!

And what does the DES or whatever it's called nowadays have to do with bringing F-35s to the UK?

You could make your mind up about whether they are or aren't coming, I suppose..? viewtopic.php?f=139&t=99998&p=630285#p630285

I would have thought DE&S would be quite knowledgeable and know the status of the grounding considering they are running the UK side of the project.

Hornets landed Farnborough today so assume they will be the same ones.Would not have thought they will send anymore

According to a news report on the bbc that was aired today , lockheed martin have said that 4 F-35,s would be appearing at Farnbourgh but not at Fairford , i did not see this report personally i was just told about it so i can not confirm its validity .
is anyone else able to add any substance to this story.
