I was told yesterday by a local that a C17 recently did full landings or touch and go's in the dark with no lights. Don't know how accurate the info i...

Re: Abingdon Air & Country Show 2017

It was a paper exercise by the previous DE personage to limit types using the airfield,however when a C17 / C130 uses the main runway just 2 months ago,which I might add is inspected yearly by the RAF,there's no arguement and the licence altered to cater for jets again,albeit I will limit to certai...

Re: Abingdon Air & Country Show 2017

Weren't jets banned from landing here a few years ago (runway unsuitable or some such reason - probably discussed on this forum at the time and I haven't searched) ? I hadn't realised they were now allowed and hadn't twigged from the list of aircraft due to appear. What time did the Tutor arrive ple...

Is the list above deliberately blurred ?

ZF289, ZF240 and VH-SCW also arrived this afternoon.

Re: Blackbushe Air Day 30/7

I was unable to get there until late afternoon. Arrived car park circa 15:35 and thought I saw a Stearman leaving as I parked. I got to the airfield as XF690 was about to leave static. Only 18 aircraft/gliders in static (including XF690) when I arrived so wondering what I missed.

Re: Abingdon 2016 - 1st May 2016

Hi everyone, I want to finish by praising the public for not congregating as "secondary crowds". We had a small group at the northern crash gate under the 230m line at first (despite the closing of the road - which incidentally cost Neil £2000), but a police officer persuaded them to move...

Are any arrivals/rehearsals (even departures) due on Friday or Saturday this year (I presume there will be arrivals for the photoshoot) and if so are times available please ?

Will G-TVAL be doing a flypast (G-HBOB no longer in use ?) if not on call ?

(Will it be snowing ? :roll: :lol: )

Re: Abingdon 2016 - 1st May 2016

Totally agree with Gareth V.

Whilst my preference for aircraft lies with modern military, overall this has been one of my preferred events for a few years.

My usual suggestion for something different if available - a Nanchang CJ-6A or two !!
