Taking to the skies in Nottingham are.......... (7)
Being an ex RAF Erk I woul love to see it. I wonder if the BBC will give it the coverage it deserves.
My feeling is that like the Isle of Man TT and Farnboropugh each year IF they cover it they will probably insult our intelligence by using it as a News fill in, presented as usual by a young wet nappied media jounalist moron with little or no knowledge of the subject.

No idea about tv coverage but think it will be a great event to go to if anyone in Nottingham and surrounding areas goes along (and the weathers ok).
Super show, very sad to see the Lancaster
just short of the flag and the band playing.
I hope its this one you are referring to,
Bomber squadron!
It would have been nicer to see the remaining
squad fly in the Lancaster instead of the reporter.

World famous aircraft past and present will fill the skies over Nottingham on 29 June to mark the fifth Armed Forces Day national event taking place in the city.
Kicking off the celebrations will be the Red Arrows, performing in their 49th display season, flying over Nottingham as the parade begins through the city centre. Based nearby at Royal Air Force Scampton in Lincolnshire, the Red Arrows will fly a formation shape named Lancaster, after the iconic aircraft flown by the Dambusters, whose daring raid 70 years ago during the Second World War was marked with commemorations earlier this year.
Current and historic craft from the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force will fly over both the city centre, where the Armed Forces Day parade and drumhead service will take place, and Victoria Embankment, where a whole day of entertainment and activities are being planned. Throughout the afternoon visitors will get the chance to see an RAF Typhoon, a Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, a Royal Navy Lynx helicopter, and a World War II Sea Fury and Swordfish from the Royal Navy Historic Flight, creating a spectacular air show for Nottingham. In addition, 10 members of the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team will parachute into Victoria Embankment, mounting a spectacular colourful aerial display for which they are famous.
Red Arrows Squadron Leader Jim Turner, otherwise known as ‘Red 1’ and the team leader for the flypast, said "Displaying in Nottingham on Armed Forces Day is both an honour and a pleasure for the team who are first and foremost servicemen, all of whom have flown in operational combat tours overseas.”
Councillor Dave Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture at Nottingham City Council added “Nottingham is incredibly proud to host the 2013 national Armed Forces Day celebrations. Visitors will be wowed by special appearances from some very famous aircraft. The air show is part of a spectacular programme of events and activities we’ve got planned, we hope to see people of all ages enjoying this unmissable event.” "
One not to be missed!
