Ah, it emerges from the swamp: The concept was cleared at Waddington then:

Tthe whole emphasis of major public air displays by staging a full demonstration of representative air power. . . .assets are orchestrated in a coordinated scenario offering a greater insight into their roles. . . . synchronised pyrotechnics simulating bombing and strafing by the GR4s, the RAF has an impressive demonstration of air power to educate and inspire an audience.

A version of the scenario will be rolled out at the Spirit of Adventure Event at Abingdon on the weekend of 26-27 May (and at the second Spirit of Adventure event at Kinross, Scotland in late August) with the full demo being played out at Biggin Hill (2-3 Jun), Cosford (10 Jun), Kemble (17 Jun), Waddington (30 Jun-1 Jul), and RIAT (13-15 Jul).

On the ground, the RAF Village concept has been developed. The Village brings together teams of serving Air Force personnel, the aircrew involved in the event and representatives of the wider RAF family such as the Air Cadets and RAF charities in order to give the public a wider understanding of the Royal Air Force.

How did the Kemble and Cosford shows go?
