Anyone know why the Typhoon has been pulled from two Armed Forces Day displays today?
Even the team page says "Display Season 2025 - Please check back soon!"

Guessing it's some kind of red tape issue or the powers that be are not happy with something.

Be interesting to see what the PR teams are saying on the ground at these events.

As of the 30th, still no dates showing on the RAF Typhoon page! Also, the RAF Coningsby Facebook Spotters Group are removing post to do with the issue.

I guess I forget that it's a privilege to get a Typhoon display every year, to the point where I take it for granted.

Hopefully a speedy recovery!

Time will tell I guess. But a short note from the Media Ops saying illness and they wish him a quick recovery, would stop the gossip that has already started flowing.

Weather looks dodgy Saturday so I guess he’ll be “under the weather again” well the cloud base anyway 🤣
