The twin-seated Draken certainly looks marvellous, great job capturing the charm of the aircraft!

Though I would love that too, they have Yeovilton and Church Fenton on their list for UK shows, but sadly not Duxford.

That's not to say that they will never fly elsewhere in future, that's just the list for this year at UK shows. They're also appearing at Farnborough and Culdrose too by the way. They're bringing the Tunnan along with the Viggen and Draken to Farnborough.
Besides I do reckon we may get to see them at Duxford eventually and to be honest considering that before the Viggen made it back into the air we never saw the flight at all in the UK, it's a good sign that they come here for any shows. Especially in the current climate regarding classic jets.
I am personally thinking of making the trip up to Church Fenton. It looked like quite a good show last year with plenty of warbirds/Vintage types on show, the Viggen and Draken would certainly be a pull for me. The show has taken up the old waddington weekend in July rather than September like last year. seeing as I will be in Scotland during September this year, this means I can make Church Fenton hopefully. It's a bit of a trek though as Yeovilton is about the furthest I usually travel for a show and that's around two hours or so away from me, Yorkshire is a little further but I have been disappointed the last few visits to Yeovilton so I'd like to try this new show at Church Fenton.

I'm hoping Duxford will bring in a more varied selection of aircraft (at least for their main Summer Show), this year they aren't! Fighter Command, not sure how they are going to 'cover' that one lol But that's me being me...
That said, having discovered Shuttleworth once more and I CAN get to that (just), I will be there 3 times this year.. Navy first.. Certainly the Military ad I'm looking at the Race Day..
Understand the problems regarding jets, and it will take a bit to settle IF the CAA don't screw things up.. I deeply suspect they will..
Almost all other airshows, unless a Coach Company runs there are no go for me.. and so far no one is going to any..
I have booked American Show at Duxford as well.. Replica Zero is worth that ticket alone! lol
As a side note, I saw the Viggen when it last appeared at Waddo many moons ago.. My Father was with me, so I'm taking years and the viggen had a vivid red and white splinter scheme!
