I gather two were hors de combat at Duxford, lost count of how many actually took part.
Yes, the Norwegian one bailed out of the practice formation the day before over DX and landed on one engine, so was out of the running anyway, and then one of the US contingent, the Flabob Express, had an engine issue on the day, and never took off.
Rumours are the Norwegian one needs an engine change, not sure on the US one. From both their point of view though, they are in the right place to have had such issues, than if it had been one of the more isolated airfields.
