Yeovilton Air Shows have always been excellent.

The first one I can remember had the Avro 707C!

I remember the one when the coming-to-an-FAA-near-you-soon Scimitar and Sea Vixen were introduced to the genpub. The Scimitar made me jump out of my skin as a lad in short pants!

Years later they did a 'simulated nuclear toss' from a 'Vixen.

Simon's Circus was another favourite.

Then there was a flypast carefully timed so that the 4 x F-4s at the back overtook the Sea Vampire at the front in full a/b just as the formation got to the display line!

A pity that there is no more front line FAA fixed wing, but I'm sure that the RW displays will be just as excellent. Dobtless the FRADU Hawk/Falcon display will be as good as it was at RIAT last year?

Somehow I feel it will be a whole lot more successful than the Spirit of Adventure bolleaux!
