Certainly an update of 2 halves..seen the additions and was like

Then seen the cancellations and was like . Really wanted to see the Slovakian Mig!

Exactly my thoughts!

Gutted too about the Slovakian MiGs, was one of my highlights.
Weird as it was a surprise update only a few weeks ago.

My concern is there's still flying acts being confirmed and was under the impression the flying was tight already...maybe preparing further cancellations in flying?

Very good point. That or they're extending the flying display this year. Must be at least 9 hours long at the moment?!

Its a Boeing display, with a USN airframe.

Any reason why the Lithuanians have dropped to the bottom?

[grogresaurus77]

How come the Lanc has been cancelled?

[Gary]

The Lancaster hasn't flown so far this year. The last update in early May, said it was hoped the Lancaster would have a test flight within a month. Since then it's gone quiet, not sure if the BBMF club members have had any further update?

Oh I thought it had flown this year. It's a great shame but never mind, I'll be there come what may.

Wow, that is a short list and somewhat repetitive. Imagine if the F-35 goes sick!

Flying one's will op. from Mildenhall bud. As its a demo not a display i dont think it requires validation but could be wrong on that.

I had an email from RIAT saying the same, but also had the Osprey listed as flying on the Friday. I assume mistake as still listed on main site as flying Sat/Sun.

The F35B's that are coming are they all USMC or are the RAF bringing any? Plus is any going on static or is it the "Airfix" plastic mock up again?

Lithuanian C-27 was added last month, not a new addition!
