AOC's display approval visits

[350biker]

Anybody got any dates for the AOC's visits to approve the display routines for this year please. I think it has been towards the end of April in previous years.
Thanks in advance

A NOTAM is usually published nearer the time.

Many thanks for the info - hope the weather and ash levels are kind that day!

No problem, guys! Obviously the NOTAM nearer the time will be the deciding factor.

Yippee still be off then

[garethbrum]

any news for typhoon etc? would have thought with the spitfire / typhoon display it would be same day for that one too.

Typhoon won't be PDAing just yet as I understand it.

Last I heard a different pilot was flying the Typhoon for the demo with the Spitfire so unsure when this will be.
