Duxford put out a post 25 mins ago saying no flying.

I'd booked a free ticket as a member, glad I didn't go now!

If Duxford confirm them, and they then do appear, are we expecting them to operate from Duxford, Cambridge, Mildenhall - or somewhere else?

Any guesses?

Don't see why they can't operate out of Duxford, the Brietling Jet Team based out of Duxford in 2019 and they are roughly the same size give or take a few feet.

I'm not sure where to start with that. There's a world of difference between the F-5E and L-39 - not least the wing and the weight.

Duxford's runway is too short for an F-5E. It's just long enough for the L-39/Vampire/MiG-15 when it is dry. However, if it were wet they'd also have to go elsewhere. Duxford's surface also still has some restrictions on it too so nothing with reheat can use it.

How many support aircraft flights would be expected to accompany the Patrouille Suisse (if they attend)?

RIAT had the Challenger twice and a PC-24 once (I think I am right in saying), but supporting two displays - would similar levels of support be expected for the Patrouille Suisse - or maybe more being larger numbers of more complex aircraft (at least vs. PC-7)?

Also, how often do they bring a grey F-5 with them as a spare, or a twi-seater? I have seen photos of them displaying with a grey jet in the past, but wasn't sure how often this occurs.

Thanks but i know that. I'm usually there 0800 and simply wondering what entrance traffic is like around 2pm and if your parked in a position to see show for 'an hour' and then quick getaway.........or view from somewhere suitable outside as i believe they have restrictions on this if anyone has any previous experience.

I think my brain has left the skull! Why does the Swiss Teams' Schedule suggest they will be at Duxford Circa: 12:00 Midday through to 13:00 for their display on Saturday 8th Qct 22 if operating from/to Waddington? :S
