Thanks guys but it looks like there will not be a Tiger displaying.

Having been asked to identfy the airfield - all I'll say is that the airshow is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain this weekend and the display sequence around this theme is going to be fantastic.

However it should start with our brave airmen's first steps with a 4 minute segment demonstrating the WWII training aircraft. Well it was anyway.

It is so wrong that this legendary basic trainer will not be represented. OK our Harvard will charge about a bit with a German trainer BUT I would say that almost all of the young men who gave their lives to defend our country started their committment to defend us by learning to fly on the Tiger. It is criminal that this wonderful aircraft is not represented.

Rant over! Back to reality where hi viz rues.
