Thanks for that Stegs.....

BBC1 at 14:15 hrs a 45 minute programme presented by Dan Snow and Kate Silverton with live coverage from RAF Fairford of one of the largest flypasts ever seen in Britain.....should be good to watch. :thumbsup:

Regards.

Cought it on the 6.00 pm news. Didn't know who was doing the voiceover but it wasn't very good or professional. Not what we expect from the BBC. Seemed as though said commentator was not sure of what he was seeing or in what order they were appearing.

Bring back Tom Fleming 8)

Re XH558, yes it does open the show....and close it too.

From the TVOC website...

We are pleased to announce the timings for Royal International Air Tatoo RAF Fairford are as below.

XH558 Will Open The Show On Saturday With Her Display At 11am

The Show Will Close On Sunday At 6pm With The XH558 Display

Oh b*gg*r. That means an early start to get there in time. With the Vulcan at 1100 and the F22 at 1830 that's 7 and a half hours! What am I going to do all that time? Watch aeroplanes? :roll:

Several sources on UKAR saying that Saturday has been cancelled. Sorry (and mightily pissed off) to be the bearer of bad news, if this is the case, but I just thought I'd warn you all before it's too late.

Blimey....what a severe blow that is for many thousands......what I do not understand is why on earth those who had bought tickets for Saturday cannot use them on the Sunday......for what reason.. :dunno: There is a refund option of course but I cannot see why they would not allow the use of a Saturday ticket on the following day, it would save the added grief surely.

Regards.

if you allow ALL of saturdays ticket holders in along with ALL of sundays ticket holders, then you will have too many on the airfield for H&S and Fire reasons
