Brilliant set

Lovely shots Chris.

A fantasic trip with great company and a few laughs.

I like the idea of the media platform but having seen a picture it looks a bit small. Wondering if it gets crowded and ends up in the Russian equivalent of a bun fight?

That's a very sad outcome. RIP the crew

Good program.Wasnt too dramatic with the narration and a showing of behind the scenes.
A point of interest for me was the photo album.The pilot that hit the stray yacht mast was my pilot in an aerobatics flight bought for my birthday.He was a real nice guy.

Yes Spaceward,I have provisionally booked with IA. Had an email from them a few weeks ago about the possible change of date and that they would update the itinerary when they had more details. Good news and bad with new dates....Good, will not have to be at LHR at silly in the morning the day after ...

That's a real shame, definitely one, if the, highlight(s) of the show.

In fairness to RAF Marham and the Station boss its a very nice offer. One which I will be taking up (families day that is).I hope that the majority of the other enthusiasts can make it as well.

The trouble is you need an 'enthusiast' involved in planning these events , a lot of Officers in the RAF firmly believe you will be happy to see a couple of aircraft whizzing around and some aircrew getting in and out of jets(this view has been around for decades), this 'charity' event will have ti...

A quite extraordinary post, which really paints the event, the RAF and civilian police in a very poor light. Being told not to be "racially prejudiced" when reporting suspicious activity is just one aspect of several in this story that the newspapers would be all over. It plants a seed of...

With it being Marham, a historic bomber station, and 617 Squadron being the first to stand up with the new toy I'm surprised that the Lancaster and Blenheim weren't in attendance instead of a poxy Spitfire . Certainly smacks of minimum effort and I pity the poor saps who attended. To be fair the Sp...

Thanks again for the replies.

George, I'm not sure what gear exactly except it will only comprise of 1 body and lens for statics and a telephoto. So I'm going to pack a bag and check on scales before I decide.

Cheers

Gents,

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply with some great tips.I think it’s a good idea to see what I can fit into my camera bag before it reaches the 8 kg limit for cabin luggage set by the airline then take it from there.

A question for the photography veterans. How do you transport your gear when flying to another country? I'm doing my first trip abroad in May and I'm wondering how I can pack my stuff safely. I think my camera bag will be too heavy for cabin baggage. I could split it and put some gear in the hold lu...

There are various machines and methods used to clean off residual tyre material from the runway.

Just got back home after a day in the loop, but as always Andy, thanks for your efforts, it makes me look forward even more to my yearly trip down to Fairford Was there any RIAT trade in the loop today? Also, did the Spang F16's drop in. I saw they went to Wales. The Czechs flew out of the Bwlch no...

Very nice Tonka.

G1 for me... I'm worried that I'm going to struggle to get photos at the top of the runway because of the railing next to me. Has anyone been in / sat close to these seats before? I sat by one of the grandstand railings last year (next to where the stairs come up from the back of the grandstand) an...

Nice catch there

It must have taken the nice lady all of 2 minutes to read and reply to the message.

Got to love the English language. Take a look at AV's last (perfectly accurate) sentence in the above post. Now imagine you're trying to learn how to speak English. Yes I've just read it back again I've now had a reply from the team and I quote "Your FRIAT pass was either posted yesterday or w...

Nice too have 2 Apache's fly through the Birmingham 15 approach this afternoon. Not a sight we see everyday for sure. Turned on the pc to see that it was Viper flight, originated near to Mildenhall (that's where the trace started) and heading towards the Black Country.
