Is anyone aware of what's going to be there this year? There's a line up on their website but since it states that the A380 will be making its UK debut I assume it just hasn't been updated since 2006.

Correct the static list is for the 2006 show, the flying list does contain a few of the 2008 aircraft, but the only trade show aircraft listed is the GAP Kestrel (which was the Farnborough F1)

Confirmed trade show aircraft are:

GAP Kestrel
Lockheed Martin F22 (MONDAY ONLY)
Boeing F/A-18
Omega KDC-10 

All others TBC, usually the first official list is revealed at a press gathering. 

 

Thanks for that. Seems faintly ridiculous to me that this huge trade show which is a matter of months away still hasn't confirmed what they'll actually be showcasing, particularly since they're already selling tickets for the public days.

 From memory its May that we have the first look at what will be there.

 If you look at the ILA website they too don't list what will be appearing and their show is in May!
 

Bulgarian Air Force C-27J due to appear according to this website.

Alenia will also show the M346 and M311 trainers.

Omega will again show the KDC10, presume this will tank over the F18's?

Public days Fri-Sun will see

Red Arrows
BBMF
RAF Typhoon
RNHF
Great War Display Team
Spitfire(s)
Catalina

Kev Stokes

The Vulcan has approval to display at Waddo this weekend so it should appear all being well.

Arriving last week were 3 Dhruv's in an An124, these were the non Sarang aircraft, two were air-tested today 07/07, also arrived last week was Bell 609 Tilt-rotor and Learjet 60, the latter flew a set up program for its special display.

Arriving 07/07 The Sarang display team, two USAF F16's and the two USN F18's. Carrying out a display validation was the Duxford based Catalina, which has returned to Duxford.

Heavy rain storms a plenty!
