Just wondered wether it hadn’t been for South Ayrshire Councils stupidity would the Coronovirus situation have meant it would have to b cancelled? It's purely speculative given no one knows when exactly the virus might peak or even be "finished", but I'd suggest not. The September date wo...

We were extremely pleased to received confirmation from the Swedish Air Force that they will be sending two aircraft for static display at RIAT 2020 as part of our Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance theme at the show. The appearance of the Argus & Korpen, both operated by 7th Transport ...

I’m certainly expecting cancellations of early-season airshows across Europe to start being announced at any time now. Aqaba Airshow in Jordan at the end of this month has been postponed until the virus has passed, on government advice, which has been a big blow to this inaugural event and the orga...

He was formerly both England's oldest man and Britain's joint oldest man until Alfred Smith, from St Madoes, Perthshire, who shared the same birthday, died last summer

There's a crime thriller just waiting to be written

This week we received great news from the Royal Navy. They will be sending examples of all their aircraft types for static display at RIAT 2020! Their new Wildcat HM2 solo display will also participate in the weekend flying display. First meh of the year for me I'm afraid - the Wildcat pair a few y...

We have begun communicating with Austrian Joint Forces Command who plan to send an aircraft for static display at RIAT 2020. We will bring you more news once the details are formally confirmed. The Heavy Airlift Wing, based at Pápa Air Base in Hungary, have also communicated their intent to return....

Anybody know if we can expect to see something from France this year? A Rafale pair would be lovely. France could send over the Rafale solo or the new tactical demo which consists of two Rafales which has replaced Couteau Delta. Are you talking about the pair of Rafale M? Because that didn’t replac...

Hey guys, I've seen some reports online where visitors have used public transport to visit the show, and it's been pretty trouble-free. Can anyone on here give a first hand account themselves?
Cheers

This week we are pleased to confirm the Swiss Air Force for RIAT 2020, with flying displays from the F-18 Hornet and Patrouille Suisse. German Navy Headquarters have informed us of their intent to send a number of aircraft for static display at RIAT 2020, including their P-3C Orion which will be a ...

Patrouille Suisse have self-confirmed for RIAT - always exceptional!

Our weekly aircraft participation updates for RIAT 2020 begin today! We have listened to your feedback and our Air Operations Department have kindly agreed to give you some behind the scene snippets of information to accompany the weekly confirmations to add to your excitement as we plan the world'...

However, won't this new regulation about burning out kill the Apache wall of fire? It's important to note that the regulations in question concern airborne pyrotechnics, ground pyro is regulated separately. The "pyro wall" in question is the type used by AeroSparx etc, whereby the element...

They won't be coming back next year unfortunately:

Has anyone camped at La Boulinière near Boissy-le-Cutté before? I sent them a message via their website a couple of weeks ago and not had any response. Having left things typically last minute I'm now looking at booking this campsite - I've received an automated email suggesting they won't be reply...

So I’ve been informed, yes. I’m not entirely sure on the reason though.

Not if he's displaying at Gijon, Spain, as per the schedule they won't

This is a very interesting, intriguing read:

Formula E just showing why it's still got the potential to overthrow Formula 1 as the leading F series! What a finish to the Mexican ePrix!

AeroSparx Grob 109b solo/pair display added! They'll be participating in the night shoot, too

Thank you John! Funny thing was until the last moment it looked like it'd be a non-event with too much cloud, there was one thin patch and for once it was in the right place! Thanks for the kind comment

Hi All, First time I've shared a photo to this forum in a long while, and the first time I've had something to share in this particular subsection! A simple, single photo from me, taken at 'The Gliding Centre', Husbands Bosworth. A bitterly cold day was warmed for the briefest of minutes by a stunni...
