are those static or flying?
C-21A is static but the rest?

TIA

Grt Rutger

I hazard a guess the Sukhoi Su22 will be static only (again a two-seater?), with perhaps a Czech AF Saab JAS39 flying display. But time will tell...

The C-21, JAS-39 and SU-22 will be on the static. The Hungarian JAS-39 will be flying display.

Also coming for the flying display are two EF-18A's from ALA-12 (one spare)

This is operational (FWIT programme) and logistical unfortunately not possible

Is it possible to give a (confirmed) summin up of flying displays for each day? I will probably only be able to attend on friday and would like to know what to expect. The official website doesn't really seem to be up to date. For example no mentioning of Red Arrows of Typhoon displays.

For those who had hope Vulcan XH558 would maybe make a return visit to Holland, sadly no...

The "tin triangle" was already booked for Margate in the same weekend as Gilze-Rijen, but due to an undercarriage problem she cannot even make that date.

Although its return to flight is looking good for 2010, the dates of its first test flight are very close to the Waddington Air Show, providing that the project remains on schedule.

Lancaster PA474: http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/news/index.c ... EE818E8E27" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Following a successful fit of a new fuel cock valve, Lancaster PA474 will be ready to air test on Wednesday 12 May at 1000am.

Thanks to everyone who helped us with this fault, we now have 2 serviceable fuel cock valves in our stores.

She is now fully operational again, so expect her at EHGR for the show!

When it comes to the Lancaster in any case, I think that he flies only display on Friday the 18th.
According to their website: http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/displayinfo/jun2010.cfm, he flies a flypast on Friday in Stamford at 7:55 p.m. (he would be back in England so) and the following day, he is also busy in England.

Pity for those who like to see the Lancaster fly, but have to make exams the whole day at school, like my.....


Greets,

PS: sorry for the (not fully correct) information, but in the whole display-overvieuw stand nothing about an display from the Lanc. at Saturday. But the take-off date for display and flypast in England on 19-06 is WELL Gilze-Rijen.
So youre early in the morning stay there...

[medebruijn]

Lancaster on both days!
