Why not refer to the official particpation list?

Jimmy,

As far as I know the United Kingdom stopped flying the Jaguar about a year ago!
And for the A-6 I think you mean EA-6B!

[jimmy van drunen]

Yes but the QinetiQ's Jaguar than?

Yes but the QinetiQ's Jaguar than?

Wfu AFAIK

[topgun1984]

XX833, a Jaguar T Mk 2A operated by QinetiQ is retired

Thursday 20th December was a historic day for aviation enthusiasts as XX833, which for the past six months was the only flying UK military registered Jaguar left in service, took its last flight, marking the end of an era for Jaguar flying in UK – the last of the RAF’s Jaguars were themselves all retired this Summer..


( this comes directly from the qinetiq website and was issued on 2007, So Jimmy i think you should update your info )

[jimmy van drunen]

Oops yeah, I now, but sorry about this story

[toppiero]

no those were listed earlier.

[aviodromefriend]

the regualr bits are:

hawker seahawk,fairey swordfish,hawker sea fury,team guinot(3 a/c) all Flying

Not so regular, except guinot. Last time the swordfish flew at the Tattoo was in 1996, the sea fury hasn't flown at RIAT for a longer time (as it has appeared anyway) and the seahawk will be a first visit at the show.

The vulcan owes a lot to RIAT, due to money generating during the restoration by their postorder operation, (there was a gentleman's agreement if the machine got airborne, it should display at Fairford, because of this) so RIAT sounds quite reasonable to me (instead Volkel due to the clinging with LBG, which was at TVOC's wishlist from the begining).

Is the vulcan Mil or Civ registered?
