Re: Science Museum Wroughton
If the hangars with the aircraft in them cannot be accessed, any visit will be a waste of time, unless visitors want to see storage of miscellaneus items?

Re: Northolt Night Photoshoot XXIX Thursday 5th October 2023
I was talking about the Photoshoots that were held during the day.I go back a long way so just because they have a different name they are primarily the same format. Phil got far more aircraft to turn up during the Sunday daytime photoshoots than the night shoots, just because it was during the day...

Re: Air Shows 2024
To me, when I look at a Shuttleworth line up, I'm looking at the visiting aircraft. That's what decides it for me. So although none of the themes sound particularly spectacular (would have loved a return of the Fly Navy event) it will depend on what visiting aircraft are booked. I quite agree! I ha...

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
I do wonder how they 'invite' countries to participate? Paul Bowen and Tim Prince used to visit embassies and 'wine and dine' their Air Attaches and Ambassadors. These days, is it just a case of sending out letters/e.mails to all the embassies and just sit back and wait to see who wants to make the ...

Re: Weather watch 23

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
I have a feeling that P&V is going to be rammed. The early sellout of tickets, quality of the participants arriving, and the poor selling of FRIAT packages this year, and as well as the “there are some available on the gate” rhetoric being widely spread and repeated, is going to combine to a lo...

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
The car parks are listed as opening at 0600 for P&V, I wonder how many will arrive before that? Last time arriving before 0600 for P&V was a nightmare! To avoid congestion on the road, they were directing everyone up the narrow quarry road opposite the gate. Thinking they were parking us in...

Re: Airfix 1/72 Avro Shackleton MR.2
Very nice, but didn't 38 Squadron's Shacks have a white top to the fuselage? I thought only 8 Squadrons' Shack's were in the overall grey finish?
