Waddington is the home of the RAF’s premier air show, used as a showcase to
the public, and the biggest recruitment event of the year.
As
you’d expect, strong support from the RAF is always the mainstay of the
participation, with everything in the inventory except a Chinook making an
appearance at this years show, either on the ground or in the air.

A clash with another major European airshow, and the recent conflict meant that foreign participation wasn’t up to the usual standard, but there were still appearances from a German F-4F, Belgian F-16 and Spanish EF-18 Hornet in the flying display, as well as an array of foreign types on static display, including Tornados, F-16s and star item for many were the pair of F-104s from the Italian Air Force.
