Just wondered if anyone is going? This will be my first Yeovilton air show, and I must say I'm looking forward to it as long as the weather holds out

Is the sea vixen there?

I've seen it flying around culdrose this week.

Should be another good one this year - quite a lot of stuff already arrived. (Had 4x Dutch F16's come in on Saturday, but they left early doors on Monday)

Weather is looking iffy for arrivals day, but better for saturday.

Judging by the practicing the Sea Vixen is planning on a full high energy display biggrin Also the Merlins seem to have an interesting display planned too - should be good biggrin

It was pulling some impressive turns down here on Tuesday.

Does the sea vixen 'live' at culdrose or yeovilton?
