There was an air show at Lossiemouth for the general public in either 1986 or 1987. I remember cos I was there! Also memorable because of the number of aircraft the RAF put in the air at once. Something like 16-20 Buccs, Jags and Tornadoes in the circuit at once. As the first was touching down the last was somewhere above crossing the threshold.

 

I seem to recall it was a bit of a one off. Hadn’t been one for years and hasn’t been one since.

I think 86 was the last 'proper' airshow - they had a couple of enthusiasts/photo days after that but with minimal flying.

Is the Sting Ray torpedo cleared for use on UK P-8's?

Not yet. Only the Mark 54 so far.

Whether it will be in the future is another matter. This from 2018.
