Cheers I will delete

Hi I rarely post, but with the Victor being one of my all time favourite aircraft I had to share this, https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/raf-marham-offering-free-victor-jet-1-6504843 Sorry if this has already been posted, also does anyone have the loan of a few flatbed trucks and an a acetylene torch ?? ...

I just flew into Crete yesterday and noticed a US C-130 and RC-135 on the military part of the apron. And today I saw a pair of F-16 overhead at about 3000ft Are there any regular movements around Chania international airport or is it hit and miss. Just looking to do some casual aircraft watching no...

We have reached peak moan.

On a RIAT based question are we near the 2018 aircraft numbers yet ?
2018 was my first show and as I traveled from abroad it was the best show I have ever seen
Even the Jordanian falcons had me riveted

So what is this forum for? Christ knows, mate. Moaning about prices Moaning about Friday Moaning about participation Moaning about the same participation Going "Kris Kris Tofferson!" and whooping over the same participation Moaning about announcements Moaning about lack of announcements M...

Cher’s for the advice Jakub.

Just a quick question on legends,
I’m passing through the area on the Friday. And I’m going to visit the museum, will there be any practice or display validations going on?
Cheers Steve

I bet it will be the Irish Aer Corps and you guys will be all “whoooo rarity”
And I’ll be all Brevet and MEH !!

The Pc-9m’s arrived in 2004 so they couldn’t have been at ‘97.
As gripenjet says the Silver Swallows were likely the team you remember flying beautiful silver fouga magisters.
I really miss them .

Ha ha yeah now I look at the modern military section in the photo threads , it seems everyone but me knew it was here.
Is it staying or has it departed stateside ?

Yep sorry it popped up in my Facebook feed so I thought it was current, but now I’ve checked it seems it is over in Europe right now at the celebrations ?????

Painted last year flying over France today??

Can anyone clarify this

Seems like there is a special D-Day painted A-10 in Europe right now belonging to the 107th fighter wing. https://theaviationist.com/2017/08/07/u-s-air-force-a-10-warthog-gets-rare-non-standard-markings-to-commemorate-the-100th-anniversary-of-the-107th-fighter-squadron/ Hmmm I wonder if this is the ...

Hi thanks for the info, yeah I’m in the show on Saturday so I wanted to be there early.
And usually I have a few beverages at shows so an overnight stay is usually required.

Presuming the wind cooperates is their much over head?

Hi all , I left the booking of camping until today but it seems the official campsite (which I stayed in last year) Is full. (It wasn’t last year) I just booked into Fairford airshow camping (Townsend farm) and it looks like it’s fairly close to the approach for Runway 27. Anyone stay here before? A...

UKAR- The worlds premier grammar and spelling forum.

*sometimes we discuss aviation.


On a serious note I bought my flights and tickets today,,,,,,whoooooop

It would be pretty weird for a photographer shooting a model to put down the camera for a while to just appreciate the spectacle or for a sports photographer to put down their gear and just enjoy the game. Strange analogises to use here, considering these two examples are photographers making money...

You mean photos cjs?
No I’m pretty awful at any photography, however I have taken appalling shots of a few airshows
At leuchars about 13 years ago.
All taken on film and awful due the excitement of seeing pretty much every aircraft for the very first time .

Well luckily you are all shooting photos, as after I watch the show I look on here for the memories.
That way I get the best of both, I couldn’t print any or show anyone as herself and most mates couldn’t give a fudge about aircraft.
Thanks

Steve

Ok calm down lads ,,, I have an idea. You two can have a UKAR charity boxing match during a lull in the show “Jordanian falcons —cough” In a special spelling and grammar themed tent. The winner gets to be known forevermore as Mr.completely accurate and eternally right. ..........there were 4 A400m’...

Thanks for all the viewpoints, it’s amazing to see those that have thought about it and rationalised it for what they want to get out of it. Dave jones I honestly thought more people would have had an epiphany like yours. And I agree the photo book of your best photos from the year makes a great ide...

Yeah it’s interesting to see that it’s both for many . That guy watching the b-2 through his camera seems to be the type that amazed me when I first went to Uk airshows. Brevet I forgot there was a thread but I’m trying to figure out more along the lines of motivation for going to airshows. And if p...

Thanks George and strike eagle,

Harvo The poster thing seems great , because they are personal memories. Topgun , that’s exactly why I could do the photography thing because I would fear missing too much and not really experiencing the static and flying. Has anyone found after starting photography that it added something extra or ...

A while back I came to this forum for updates and news about airshows and stayed for the photos. Trawling back through some amazing shots and collections with some excellent shots and some just great records of unusual aircraft or just simple records for posterity. However when I finally travelled t...

Fair points , but maybe they think the RAFAT and BBMF are enough and celebrating the RAF is their primary function. However other air arms do it. It could be the civil servants penny pinching and the RAF deserves no flack or it could be the corporatism that is creeping into all government department...
