Of course, derogatory messages aimed at a username choice will go completely unnoticed amongst the echelons of FC hierarchy.

"Ha ha, his name is MrBrownHands, let's make fun of all of that now because I'm unable to match this person intellectually and provide a decent discussion".

Pathetic.
I challenge you to grow up.
"We designed the Lanc so nobody else deserves to have one," is the biggest bit of verbal diarrhoea I've read in a long time. It doesn't need disproving, it needs ridiculing.

Just kidding

But would like some heavy hardware like b-52 b-1b b-2 c-5 etc and would love to see an su-34 f-4
Don't be silly. Airwolf has a one-legged pilot whose alcohol has a smidgin of blood in it. There's no hope he could put in a display in that condition. Douglas Bader he is not!

Of course, had there still been a plethora of existing Lancasters still flying then I would have no issue with Canada retaining one. You don't see me asking for the return of all the Hunters, Spitfires and other British-made aircraft.

Learn to read.
You seem to ignore the fact is that the CWHN Lancaster may be a British design, but the airframe you are calling to return to its rightful home was actually born and bred in Canada spending its entire operating life within the RCAF. With 13 Squadrons operating them (largest number after the RAF) their contribution to the efforts of Bomber command was significant. It is therefore right that they still maintain and operate an airframe of the type.

But that aside, as has rightfully been pointed out, this topic is for the RIAT 2015 wishlist and not an argument over Canada continuing to own and operate a Lancaster.

Therefore, back on topic please everyone :)

A very strong U.S showing would be my number one choice. Also any aircraft type that's running to the end of its service life, and maybe we'll never see again. Turkish F-4's for example.

Think I've seen that the Apache Demo Team may be planning a pair of AH64's and more Pyro's for RIAT 2015.
Now that I would like to see. :D

Given that one of the Themes is "75th Battle of Britain", I'll go for...

A Balbo :ninja: with as many Spitfires, Hurricanes, Me109s etc flying past at 200 feet.

Synchronised with...

A Balbo :ninja: of Fast jet types from all Air Arms whose pilots took part on either side, flying past at 300 feet.

I'm thinking Polish Mig29/F-16, Czech & SA JAS39, Canadian & Australian F-18, Belgian F-16, French M2K/Rafale, German Tonka/Eufi, USAF F-15 etc. A full list of "foreigners" involved here :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Britis ... of_Britain

Synchronised with,...

A Balbo :ninja: of UK and German squadrons whose lineage includes some claim to participation in the BoB flying past at 400 feet.

All immediately after the lunch hour, and all taking off from Fairford.
