RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2013

[MRTT]

Rumours of BAC F-16 but, nothing concrete.

[MRTT]

Any information regarding arrivals, as yet?

[Hurn]

That doesn't sound promising. Thank you gents.

I believe the Sea Vixen was taxiing under it's own power yesterday and the Pilot is beginning his work up soon.

First test flight is due on Friday evening, but realistically at best I can only see it being on static unless they somehow manage to blitz through a display workup next week.

Makes up for the Hind cancelling for me. Well...Almost...

[MRTT]

That'd be lovely, cheers.

Risking it outside with FoxD and a few other like minded folk , everything has been put together all I need now is Wednesday to arrive and I'm finished for 13 days ! Arrivals Show day and a week of departures Bliss

[MRTT]

Any idea when the Czech contingent is due? I'd imagine Friday but, it's worth checking.

[MRTT]

Thanks for the help.

Hi
Anyone on here know if the RNHF Sea FUry FB11 will be ready to fly - still says flying on the website but as they moved the second Swordfish to static recently I was wondering if the FB11 would be ready? Loved the T20 display in the last few years so would be great to see an FB11 too!

As far as I'm aware the FB.11 will not fly on air day. Lets just hope RNHF don't have problems with their tires.......

[Hurn]

Tonight's Sea Vixen flight is canx, so I guess that pretty much ends any hope of them displaying at VL next weekend.

[MRTT]

Ah, bu*ger.

[Hurn]

Pilot stuck in traffic apparently.

Shame, but as long as one of them flies I'll be happy......still says flying on the website though...

Wouldn't Mind a Couple of Slow/Fast Passes By the Sea Vixen if they Cant Rehearse a Full Display, Topside and Dirty Pass Would be Great.

I Hope to Meet Some of You Next Weekend.

Someone Quickly Grab those Spanish Typhoons at Leeming and Ask for them to Attend for Static.
