That's one battered U-2! Is that 4 different airframes in and out this week?
Excellent work Andy, thanks again for the amazing coverage!

What's with the car following the U-2 before it's touched down?

Standard practice for the U-2 to have a 'chase car'

I may just be stupid (and I know I am), but is that not just ice on the U-2?

Thanks JJC
Is the M-346 a second one in for the static? Can't see a static listed on RIAT's website but it looks different to the one that flew yesterday.

The 346 is a surprise, it's the company prototype for the new Attack variant.

Don't think so, look at the position of the missing paint a lot around the cockpit and a lot of fasteners. Plus I don't think that much ice would still be left in those positions with the temperatures we have at the moment.

There's ice under the outer wings (where the fuel tanks are), it needs a good re-spray though !

Don't you think it might have been down in the West Country and was caught by a flock of overfed seagulls.

Which is where you would expect to see ice, on a cold soaked fuel tank. The weathered look makes for more interesting photos though

Re: RIAT Arrivals... LIVE! 2017
I'm now sat in the hotel bar supping a pint, the light went so I gave up waiting for the flanker practice and the Skyhawks.
Here is my final photo post from today. I will post limited shots from tomorrow but no where near as many.
