Dave Fleming Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 13 hours ago, EwenS said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Mark 54 so far. https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/poseidon-achieves-first-torpedo-release/ Whether it will be in the future is another matter. This from 2018. https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2018-05-16/144839 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
