Re: Eastbourne 2023
yep, the commentator also reported a tech smoke problem, but maybe it was just misunderstanding, the visibility looked poor, so poor in fact when they did go out to sea to hold, no-one could see where theyd gone.
Typhoon coped alright, but its not doing formation flying

Re: Duxford Summer Air Show 2023 - 24th & 25th June
I have been attending Duxford for over 20 years now - some as a volunteer so I know a bit about the place - and it never fails to amuse me that they still can`t get some things right. We arrived on the Saturday early -about 0645am - to see no car park signs so we drove past the main gate where we s...

Re: Kings Coronation flypast?

Re: Red Arrows Statement
It's been something of an Annus Horribulus for the team. Aircrew scandals, ageing jets, birdstrikes, fewer jets displaying, and an underwhelming, stale display. If the Reds to are to have a future, they need to take a good look at themselves and reset in all aspects for 2023. Well you and I have ve...

Re: Red Arrows Statement
TBH with the deep-seated issues in RAF Flying Training which means that, in spite of CAS being given it as his top priority by the Defence Secretary 3 years ago, there are still insufficient Fast Jet pilots to fully man the F-35 force, it becomes harder and harder to justify tying up 10 experienced...

Re: RAFAT: In decline?
admittedly maybe not so much of an issue this past year, but Im just wondering if the issue is often down to the weather constraints they have to deal with in the UK so often, the difference between a full display and one impacted by cloud limits or rain is very stark. I mean I hadnt realised I hadn...
