...sounds like there was more RAF participation in Jersey than at Leuchars! I went for a wander round the pan there last Thurs morning, present were:

2 x F3s
2 x Jags
1 x GR7 (still there on Sat, looking a bit poorly)
2 x Hawk
2 x Tucano
Reds (10 Hawks)
BBMF (Spit, Hurri, Lanc & Dak)
1 x Sea King (SAR duty for show presumably)

The Reds Support C130J came and went

Falcons didn't appear and neither did the E3 or Nimrod mentioned in the programme

The B52 (!) that did some low-level flyby's at the start of the display was the highlight for me, along with the Sea Vixen.

No sign either of any of the usual MyTravel participation (usually a feature due to the boss's residency in Jersey) - wonder why that was!!
