My grandad would love to see a flying Meteor as he as in an RAF squadron with them.

Doesn't look bad at all. Of course it all depends on the weather. I missed it last year for some reason.

The RAF Role Demos, possibly the Falklands flypast out of London including the Vulcan, maybe, and a load of classic jets that are simply too expensive for any other show to get, would you call that small?

I'll believe that when I see it. I wouldn't put money on it. Undecided

Flying at Kemble might be severely restricted soon if some people have their way. http://www.deltajets.com/news.php?id=22

The organiser has come out and said that shouldn't affect the airshow (whether that's true or not is up for debate, but have to think positive!). As for the flypast, I quote the official website. Wink

and to finish the day off with a grand finale, the majority of planes in the official flypast over Buckingham Palace on that day will make Kemble Air Day their next stop before flying home.

I'm talking about the Vulcan. I very much doubt it will make that flypast.

Hence why he said 'maybe'. Wink

With regards to the Vulcan, the corrosion has been sorted, and engine 1 (the third engine to be fitted) is being prepared for fitting. Progress is being made!

That looks great, I may be able to make that (possibly even solo, no one else to worry about Wink

)

Looks like a SimV AGM may be on the cards Cool

Only problem is the website doesnt mention the shuttle buses from Kemble station this year....I remember standing by a pub in Kemble villiage waiting for a bus watching hunters fly over last year, and standing on the railway bridge watching the red arrows Cheesy

If all the falklands flypast is coming to Kemble it would be awesome!

If you're going to Hullavington Mic you'd better get a move on. Tongue

Have a nice time. Wink

Apart from the Red Arrows & the highly unlikely appearance of the Vulcan it's not clear what this flypast will consist of. It's quite likely that most of the aircraft will be at Kemble anyway.

Various RAF types, I suppose. The ones I've heard are the VC-10, Nimrod, Dominie, C-130, and probably all the usual RAF stuff that flies over London for special occasions. We'll more than likely find out closer to the time!
