Another one for that FFfffffffff Phantom !! The clarity is amazing on all the shots.

On the Trade Day ticket topic I gave them a call last Friday as I still hadn’t received mine and a very helpful chap just emailed me the pdf file and I printed them off. He did say they’ve had issues with the ticket company.

And you can come away with as many pens and stickers as you can ram in your pockets

Afternoon all, I have a large quantity of softback books on Russian Aircraft that I'm selling. They include the following, Squadron Signal, Concord Publications, 4+ Publications. All the books are in excellent condition and are £6 each inc P+P. If anyone is interested in any of the titles please con...

Hi all, I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. For the second time this week an A 400 “ Growler “ has flown over my house here in Longwell Green Bristol heading West at around 7.00 pm and for the second time this week I was far to slow to get a shot. Hopefully this won’t be the last fly o...

Had this news pop up a couple of hours ago. Su 57 crashes during test flight from Komsomolsk........ Fortunately no casualties.

Hi Rob,
I’ll get that sorted whenI’m back from hols.
Cheers,

Hi Rob,
I’ve packaged up the magazines and checked with Yodel online quote and the postage cost would be £9.00. I’m off on holiday this week but could get the posting sorted for Monday 4th November when I’m back.
Is that OK with you.
Cheers,
Ian

Hi Rob,
Apologies for not getting back to you sooner but I've been away for a few days. Yes I still have the magazines.
If you're interested I can get then boxed up or were you thinking of collection ?
Cheers,
Ian

Hi all, Before they go to the recycling bin I thought I'd check to see if anyone would be interested in any of these Russian Aviation magazines. They are all free, just pay the postage. If you want all of them I can post via Yodel but as they will weigh quite a lot ( 9 Kg ) it will probably come in ...

Hi all, Just a few photos from this years visit to MAKS. They were taken on my point and shoot TZ 50 so nothing exceptional like most posts but I'd just like to share them. As for the show itself , well after making many visits to MAKS since 1995 I found the show rather lacking in content and rather...

Just in case anyone is thinking about something a bit different I came a cross this …. m Looks quite pricey but you do get ... The price includes: – Bus Transfer to the pier (round trip) – [b]Breakfast (fried eggs with sausages, tea or coffee, dessert) – Entrance fees to the MAKS exhibition I know I...

Yes that’s the one at Medyn. At the moment it is still an “ongoing project” and judging by any info I can gain it’ a long way off yet. There are quite a few airframes on the site though and maybe they may take some extras from Monino if the stories of its impending closure are true. Let’s hope those...

Hi all, The “museum “ isn’t actually open or even started yet but there is a area West of Moscow with a large number of airframes , some of which were from the aircraft that were left at Khodyka many years ago. Some of these from Khodynka have also been moved to the Zadorozhny Techic Museum . When I...

I can't even begin to imagine what was going though the minds of those brave men back in '44 , jumping from a Dak and then slowly drifting down under a hail of bullets . I take my hat of to them ,every last one of them .
Superb set.

Just had my Passports returned with Visas all firmly stuck inside so that's another job sorted. Flights , Hotel, Visas all ticked so now to start thinking of where to visit on my MAKS free days. Most probably be at MAKS Wednesday and Thursday as in previous years when there should still be some inte...

On a home front show I think I echo the thoughts of some when I say Boscombe Down ‘92 was one on my favourites with some superb displays from an amazing variety of specimens, then on the small scale front Badminton Airday was always a cracker. On my doorstep and a very good variety of aircraft. Over...

Adverse weather aside it has to be FIA 2018 for me . I’ve attended the show many many times going back into the late 70’s but when I got back into the car I said to myself “ unless things change drastically that’s the last weekend show I’m going to” and then to confirm my thoughts FIA has done the j...

Hotel now booked just waiting for the paperwork so I can start the long haul of Visa applications. At least for these Visas it’s only the 2 of us going, last years SPB visit I completed 5 separate applications. Day out in the big smoke to present the paperwork then start sorting out places / museums...

The Aviasalon web site states that the Russian Government has passed and decreed authority to Aviasalon for MAKS to be held over the new dates published on the site. A couple of friends from Moscow who always get Press Accreditation have had these dates given as the correct dates due to the moving o...

Bloody typical ! 2 years ago I had to change my flights as the dates were moved from late August to late July and now it's looking like I'll have to do the same but in reverse ! For Christs sake make a decision and stick with it ( he says staring Putin eye to eye ??? )

Well you must have been reading my mind as I was sat here thinking about posting the very same question. I booked my flights on Tuesday , Heathrow to Sheremetyevo with Aeroflot so next job is the Hotel booking and then the Visa app and then a visit to London VFS Centre and then a sigh of relief when...

Just logged on and couldn’t believe what I was reading.The end of UKAR ? Now I would be the first to admit I’m not a frequent psoster but have made my fair share over the years on a forum / site that I can only describe as one of , if not the most helpful , informative and “social forums I have been...

Thanks for the Cafe info.

Off for my trade day tomorrow and back on Sunday for a public day. Some may say I’m a sucker for punishment !!. Does anyone know if the main Cafe / restaurant is still in Hall 1 after its revamp ?
