Dinky (is your surname Dai, or what?):

They announced on Friday that Typhoon wouldn't be coming in - my impression was that were it to miss its re-revised ISD due to air show appearances this could be frowned upon by those with large cheque books. Better than the usual "wrong sort of clouds" excuse, I suppose. If you do want to see plenty of the Typhoon, may I suggest you buy property in Lancashire!

I only managed a flying visit (literally) to the show on Friday on the back of the ASRAAM facility, but was impressed with the range of aircraft arriving - my first glimpse of a pair of Starfighters in a fair few years! I also enjoyed the Army aviation fly past, although an Apache would've looked good with them.
