Having had both parents serve in the RAF, and being an Ayrshire boy, Prestwick was just down the road a bit! Never looked back since!

Re: Your Plans for 2017...

The usual for me! East Fortune and Prestwick, hopefully flypasts for the tattoo? I always look forward to my weekend in Prestwick, the drive down, hotel, show day etc! I'm sure the hotel staff will be getting used to seeing me and Mrs P by now! :lol:

Re: Your Favourite 'Filler' Team?

I too am a little unsure why these kind of teams should be regarded as 'filler' - that term seems to somewhat belittle the skills of the pilots involved. According to some "enthusiasts", anything without an afterburning engine is regarded as 'filler' at an airshow... Understood! I enjoy a...

Re: Your Favourite 'Filler' Team?

I wouldn't have them down as "Filler" teams. If it were just titled favourite civvy teams, that would be fine. I know it says to vote for one team only, but 3 teams get my vote on this. SWIP Team, Aerosparx and The Blades. :up: :cool: :biggrin:

Re: UKAR in 2017: What For The Future?

It's a great place to give timings and further info of events for forthcoming airshows,and in the case up here in Edinburgh, the Tattoo flypasts. I ...

Oddly enough, I also am at that point too! I've not had my scanner on often enough these days! Not even paid EDI a visit for quite a while now! ( I blame my current obsession, taking film of the changing face of Edinburgh). :biggrin:
