Well the precedent is there now. The lockdowns and restrictions will continue until there is either a vaccine, or they decide enough is enough and 'let it rip.' Of course, no right minded politician (not one that would seek to be re-elected in the future anyway) would ever agree to the 'blood on the...

'We'll have the virus beaten by Spring 2021...' effectively claimed Boris. Back in March, I think his crowd said the same about 'returning to normal' by Autumn 2020. They'll just keep moving the short-term goalposts to stop people going bonkers with angst and despair because at the end of the day, t...

As a previous responder in this thread, one of the other things that has come to mind under Covid is the security 'pat-down' for any event operating under public health restrictions. So many 'un-washed' civilians to process onto the base. Bag searches, pat downs, electronic wands etc. RIAT is my Chr...

With the current 'whack a mole' in and out deployment of restrictions, I would be amazed that a charitable event (with so much initial outlay to put the event on) like RIAT 2021 would even get off the drawing board. Far too much financial risk just now with how things are. With the greatest of respe...

Fab.

So what I've learned is, FR24 tells lies and isn't worth the time and effort. Happy days.

All of the BA aircraft from LHR to Bournemouth came straight here. None went via Glasgow. I don't mean they landed at Glasgow. Can't find any examples now, but check out this Virgin flight on Tuesday: m LHR-LHR via a turnpoint near Glasgow. Occam - I'll back you up on this, I saw a British Airways ...

I saw this too Boff, an interesting development for certain should it come to fruition...

As sad as it will be to lose the Tonkas, the thought of super-bugs/growlers is happy news for me. Love F-18s... and the super-bugs are... well... bae.

Just been on Sky News (yeah, I know), UK Government has received a report from SAGE (collective of scientists about emergencies such as this) that states that we should plan for social distancing to be around for up to a year. With an arrest today on the Isle of Man for not self isolating, I think t...

Nice images... Buffs were the highlight for me last week... Those and the flexing of the Aggressor F16s in beautiful light...

Yes, many thanks for your updates Boff... I was out on a trip that covered Red Flag (last week) and was scheduled to take in Yuma show, El Centro show, Luke show and Lancaster Fox Field, along with an overflight of the boneyard/bus trip round it. The US quickly started to fold up on itself and the r...

Wow... great to see the pedantry ejaculation very much alive and well on UKAR. Take a bow. I've spoken to Greek people quite regularly as part of a different interest thank you very much. They taught me how to greet people, if not the correct spelling. For the avoidance of doubt, my pigeon-Greek con...

Argus - a SAAB design isn't it? I think the Swedish AF brought one to RIAT around the turn of the century if memory serves correct. A strange looking contraption on the roof I thought at the time... but then the Wedgetail caught my eye. I think the Greeks brought an Argus over in 2013 too? I remembe...

Not looking to call anyone out, but I doubt that the 'commute' from one part of Lincs to another is going to be insurmountable for aircrew. It's not like going from... Coningsby to Valley...

I wonder if we'll get a joint flypast of Patrouille Suisse and the Hornet? Good lord... you're talking about RIAT airshow content... praise be... and peace be with you!! In previous seasons where the Swiss have supported us with multiple acts, they have tended to take off together and do a flypast ...

Without a specific confirmed aircraft announcement, I thought the update yesterday was really quite good, so well done DBH. I liked the detail they issued relating to the ongoing discussions and like Dom said, it does feel like there is something being planned in a coherent manner. Not the happy cla...

Any jet in the flying display from France will be most welcome! I wonder if Couteau Delta are back on the scene? As for the B1, a simple take off still stands out as one of my favourite airshow moments. As a 10 year old kid having never seen one before, I thought it would sound like a passenger air...

Tips for the first timer...... The public can only access the left hand third of the display line, the middle left sixth is private enclosures then press at display centre..... there is no access at all to the right hand display line. If going as press, take a good hat and LOTS of water... you are ...

When you flying out Boff? We're out of London at 1040 to LAX on 7th March. Maybe see you around... I'll drop you a PM with the full itinerary.

I am not surprised. As a local to this park, not a week goes by without some form of robbery occurring by a gang on bikes - either push or scooter... usually involving a knife so this guy was lucky. I cannot stress enough that on a weekday during the day and/or strange times of the day this park is...

I couldn't follow that link, was it time bound?
And... what about the car stickers? What are they all about?

Really nice update this week. The Hornet 'fly-off' last summer and rightly won by the Finnish incumbent was intriguing. Looking forward to the Swiss offerings - enjoying the venerable F5 for how much longer now? Really good insight as well into irons in the fire. I too, will be very pleased if the H...

In summary then... modern life is going to be rubbish. Sounds like a Blur album title I'm of the age where that far into the future will have limited impact on me. I will have retired... unless I get killed in the crush at Park and View East this summer!! I will however, have gigs upon gigs of photo...
