unfazed,
I didn't say they wern't fast or agile (I said they were too damned fast) but lets be honest, the gaps in between their passes etc are enormous - to the extent where boredom sets in waiting for them to come back! You don't have that with the Arrows. Also, perhaps you could enlighten us all as to what the Thunderbirds and the F-16 can do in a display that the Hawk can't (except do it a bit faster, thereby leaving us with huge gaps??)
Soddim, as for Coningsby being open for other reasons, yes I know that, but we all know that the last thing a Typhoon wants (when he gets scrambled) is a bumbling old Lanc, or Spit, of Dak or anything else comes to that, getting in it's way! I think that BBMF moving to Scampton along with the Vulcan would provide the ideal solution to several 'problem' areas.
In fact, I would go so far as to suggest that Scampton should take on some kind of 'RAF Heritage' station, where the public could come and view the RAF's 3 most popular 'aircraft/teams' throughout the year. Can't wait!!
Kind regards to all
