RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2012

[airtyphoon]

XH558 will sadly not base out of VL for Air Day, she will arrive, display then depart, this is due to other commitments at Cleethorps and Torquay the same day!

I knew 558 was at for the airshow on the 9/10th June but wonder what its doing there on the 23rd June?

Its attending the Cleethorpes Armed Forces Day.

I had hoped to announce the Swiss F18 but unfortunately initial positive discussions haven't come into fruition. They will be attending another show instead.

Be good if they can get the RAF Typhoon. Always loved Tiffie displays and perhaps it could be the noisy show opener to replace the F16.

would be good, and it would mark its return after a 2 year absence.

Personally id rather see an F16, F18 or Gripen, at least Yeovilton has got the Rafale!!

[RichC]

Rafale(s) are the stars -again-
If the Typhoon had the old Warton display pilot like they did years ago when plugging it, then it might be worth while.

[Rotörhead]

Now I want 2 Etendards as well (or even just the one Etendard!)

Still, that's a good addition

French Navy NH-90 will now Fly at Air Day this year !

Shame about the Apache not doing a solo display now. Mind you, it would have taken a lot to better the Dutch Apache of last year!

USAF HH-60 Pave hawk added to Static, info from Yeovilton's Facebook.

Wicked addition but no surprise since their visit a month ago or two. HH-60G, NH-90... can't go wrong there.

[Hurn]

No Tiffie again.

[Blackcat1]

Well thank you RAF!!

[Blackcat1]

Not bothered at all about the so called Tiffy anyway lol, after all the good stuff the RAF has had over the years, it doesnt impress me that much i gotta be honest.

[airtyphoon]

Doesn't look like there are many shows on the Tiffie's agenda that are down South! Bournemouth and Eastbourne also have no Tiffie this year, two big losses there if you ask me. Can't complain though, I'll be seeing the Demo Twice, at Cosford and RIAT!

hopefully the RAF Will send the 3SQ Special Typhoon for Static instead, sadly with no display at Yeovilton and me only Attending the RIAT Arrival days I will miss out on seeing the RAF Typhoon display This year.

Unsurprisingly the Vulcan has cancelled.

A Real Shame, wouldn't mind having the RAF Chinook Display Added as a Replacement.
