Realistically, I don't think anything will come along to replace the Leuchars show. I think it's fair to assume that the RAF will concentrate its efforts on Waddington in future. That wouldn't be so bad if Waddington is made into a better show, but I can't see any appetite to change the current format... just yet. But who knows - maybe with only one annual event to work with, there might be more enthusiasm for thinking of ways in which a much better show could be staged, but I suspect that for the foreseeable future (at least while the Reds and BBMF are still around), Waddington will not change significantly. Thing is, if the Vulcan doesn't come back next year and the Swedish HF stays home, you have to wonder whether there's much prospect of any sort of show that's really worth seeing.
