Strange not mentioned in their announcements. But it was hoped the Alize would appear with the Zephyr and Paris.

Appears they've removed the tweet, sounds like they were holding that announcement off for a while.

Or could be support for the CF-188 Demo Team arriving there later today (see NOTAM thread).

Believe there is a Canadian Herc due on static, not sure whether it's this one though.
Any update on the CF-188s, not seen anything.

Disappointing that 188783 was the one at Scampton last year.

Certainly is. ZM145 [43C81B]. Appears to have done a pass and is climbing away seemingly back to Marham.

Anyone going - make sure you watch the Red Bulls Bolkow 105 flying display. It is incredible- the best helicopter display I have seen in nearly 40 years of attending shows.

Just a few from yesterday's very hot arrival day. The Lithuanian MIL8 was using the Mode S supposedly allocated to 21 White which was at Fairford a few years ago. It was however painted as 23 blue. 21 white is the sole Lithuanian MI8MTV1 and was painted as such under the cockpit at Fairford. 23 is a MIL8T and the helo carrying 23 that arrived at Yeovilton was indeed marked as a MIL8T. 23 was in store at Siaulai when last noted some 5 years ago. Has it been resurrected but with the Mode S box from 21?? Anyone there today that can get a c/n from it?
