Great update until you get to RIAT where you thought the Czech update for there was good but will no longer be as it'll be the same aircraft! :Oops:

Quite so but as each show will be different I still will be looking forward to them at both shows. Flares will hopefully be part of the Yeovilton routine and I will see them at two different sites at Fairford. (from inside the show on Sunday and from Totterdown on Saturday). :thumb:

Rich Goodwin and his Pitts S-2S Muscle Biplane added to the flying display. I know it's not military, but he always puts on a cracking display and always a welcome addition and great for photographs.

Taken from the Yeovilton Air Day facebook page posted yesterday.
PARTICIPATION UPDATE:
Apache AH1 – Army Air Corps (Flying)
Apache AH1 - Army Air Corps (Static)
The awesome British Army Apache AH1 returns to the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton Air Day on Saturday 8 July to give yet another pounding, pyrotechnic-enhanced role demonstration. Armed with Hellfire missiles, CRV7 rockets and a nose-mounted M230 chain gun, the Apache counts among the world’s most potent battlefield helicopters.
Another great addition.
