Update Been Posted on Yeovilton's Facebook Page.

Just to answer a few questions in one go...we had hoped to announce a bumper update. This would have consisted of a B52 flypast, USN P3 Orion and CAF Polaris for static. Unfortunately operational commitments mean these have fallen through. Very disappointing but that's the way it goes! We were very pleased to have even been considered. On the bright side we are ecstatic to have UK firsts with the Rafales, NH90 and Red Star Rebels along with the Saudi Hawks Air Day debut. We are still looking into a couple of additions but can't guarantee. If the last two weeks are anything to go by...who knows! Roll on 23 June!!!

a Real Shame, Under 2 Weeks Away Now Bring on the Rafale's and the NH90.

Hi fellas,

What day will the visitors fly out? I'm heading down south for a family hol, unfortunately we'll miss the show but I can arrange a "coincidental" visit in the following week - I'm guessing monday?

Cheers

most foreign Aircraft tend to leave Monday morning, although in previous years the odd participant has left on the Sunday.

Cheers Typhoon,

Will have to arrange a family day out nearby

[garethbrum]

Some have left on Saturday evening as well IIRC. Rafale from the static in 2010.......

[Hurn]

With only a week to go surely the Sea Vixen appearing has to be extremely doubtful?

That'll be an AN-124 then, hope it turns up this time!

good to see that the French Navy are Still Attending, it will be nice to see the Historic aircraft and an extremely large aircraft interesting.
