Thought it was wise to set up a thread for this. I'm at the airshow tomorrow and then Woodvale Sunday so will be able to confirm on Sunday. For now its scanner and planeplotter. So to begin...
14.00hrs first aircraft to arrive is G-HURI a Hurricane. 14.45 G-PBYA Catalina 15.02 ZH845 Navy Merlin 16.06 XZ180 Blackcat Lynx 16.25 XZ180 Army Lynx
Culdrose Navy Rescue Seaking on the ground too
Thats all from me today. Rest of the stuff, I.e blades tend to arrive Saturday morning!

I'd guess so hawk88. Keep an eye out the Catalinya is heading for the low level corridor. May well head over skem on its way to Woodvale. Any arrivals I'll place in the first message to make the list more clear.

I'll try my best! It's often difficult to get a fix on mil aircraft. It's very much a guess work game.

According to forums.airshows.co.uk the Great War Team have cancelled. Apparently more info will be given later. Any news on the Rolls-Royce Spitfire XIX or Mustang "Frankie" from Duxford ? Have they arrived yet ? Any info will be appreciated.

Just found out that Mustang "Frankie" is going to be replaced by another Mustang. I think due to undercarriage problems ! This is yet to be confirmed though.

Apparently there will be a Bulldog and Tutor formation only seen once before at a Airshow. Display times are being changed accordingly. I was hoping for two Warbirds as replacements nevermind.
