2010 Airshows
Nimrod at Waddington RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire hosts the major RAF Airshow, which is very popular, and usually held in June. The display includes many modern RAF aircraft, foreign aircraft, and display teams.

RAF Waddington is a fully operational unit of No 3 Group within RAF Strike Command and is home to the RAF's airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) aircraft. 3 resident squadrons, No 8, No 23 and No 51 operate the Boeing E-3D Sentry and Nimrod R1 aircraft in these roles. The E-3D aircraft of Nos 8 and 23 Squadrons also constitute the UK Component of the NATO Airborne Early Warning Force. The newly re-formed 5(AC) Sqn, expected to receive its Sentinel R1 aircraft soon, will operate in the ASTOR (Airborne Stand-Off Radar) role.

2010 AIRSHOWS

RAF Waddington International Air Show 2010

Waddington in Lincolnshire, the county that is considered by many to be the traditional heartland and spiritual home of the Royal Air Force, has been host since 1995 to the RAF's biggest air show. It has a well-earned reputation for appealing to enthusiasts and families alike, and is considered one of the UK's top military air shows.

THEMES

90th Anniversary of the 1st ever RAF air show
Where were you on 3 July 1920 when the first ever RAF Air Show was staged at RAF Hendon? We are planning to recreate that amazing feature by flying a military aircraft from every decade since 1920 during our 2010 show. This will be a unique event and one not to be missed.

70 Years since the Battle of Britain
To commemorate this iconic period in our nation's history we are planning a re-enactment of a war time airfield attack. Hear the sirens wail as they warn of danger, feel the heat of explosions and gain some idea of the fear that must have been felt by those under attack. All this and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

35 Years of Airborne Early Warning (AEW)
It is 35 years since the introduction into service of the E3 aircraft and 20 years of RAF E3D Sentry operations. We are planning an AEW bonanza with representatives of AEW operators from across the globe exhibiting their aircraft in an amazing static display.
