For anyone that hasn't seen the various social media posts, the Belgian A109 has been cancelled,no reasons given, and to the regret of both parties
Cheers

I see from photos posted that the Typhoon used for the night air display was ZJ916, not the Union Flag livery ZJ914 they used in the afternoon ? Any idea why ? I'm going down there today, so hoping there's no problem with ZJ914

Their just rotating the airframes, spoke to the Typhoon display manager yesterday and they hope to fly the Union Jack jet on all four days.

It flew in the afternoon slot on Thursday.

I asked them at the stand as well, got basically the same answer. They flew the grey one again this afternoon, be interesting to see what flies this evening, but I'm back home now. I'll be back down on Sunday, hopefully get lucky.

Morning guys, can anyone please tell me what time the Typhoon is displaying today? Am in the vicinity of Bournemouth Airport this afternoon and was hoping to catch it departing and arriving. Thanks in advance.

Saw elsewhere that Blackjack had gone tech one day, but no idea if that’s true?

I think the flying has been cancelled for rest of the show due to crash around 4pm today.
