Feature: The 2006 RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain Air Show
Back To Page 3
At this time we make our way from the main crowd line back
to our enclosure on the far side of the base. During this
time we have the 1st of 2 Eurofighter Typhoon displays and
that is then followed by the Belgian F-16 display, the Battle
of Britain Memorial Flights' DC-3 Dakota Display and then
the RAF Hawk display.
One of the difficult tasks of Show Day is to decide when
to have Lunch! The reason being, you will have to sacrifice
seeing a display or two and with only a one and a half hour
time frame where lunch is served it does become a bit difficult.
Just before we went for lunch we got word from some people
"in the know," that a single Nimrod from No.120
Squadron was on its way to do a single flypast in memory of
the 12 RAF, 1 Army — Parachute Regiment and 1 Royal Marine
personnel who were tragically killed in Afghanistan the weekend
prior to the Air Show. This was a last minute addition to
the Flying Display and a minute's silence was held as the
Nimrod flew past in memory of the 14 men.
After Lunch we head back out to the enclosure. The RAF Tutor,
Caledonian Chipmunks and the Danish Baby Blues Display Team
are heading back to the VAS after finishing their displays.
They were our sacrifice for attending Lunch in the marquee.
