Valley hawks broken, again.

There seems to have been yet another outbreak of unserviceable machines, at what was once a busy unit.

Are the Tucano lookalikes not flying then?

The RAF is finally reflective of British society. Maybe Wigston did have a plan......

That's what happens when the bits that are meant to hold your jet together are suspect...

Whatever the issue was, it appears to be solved, RAFAT are back displaying at Eastbourne this afternoon.
Although they say it may be cancelled due to a 'severe weather warning'...

An issue with "Valley Hawks" may not be connected with RAFAT.

It appears to have been a fleet-wide problem, the Qatar Hawks weren't flying either.

The weather on Friday was only slowly improving from early heavy cloud. I saw them from a distance complete a couple of manoeuvres then disappear. The commentary on Saturday explained that they curtailed their show.
