Re: The future of RIAT
On the other hand, just because the prices are high (too high) for some people, doesn’t mean that RAFCTE are greedy. I can certainly understand that the cost of attending RIAT is too much for some. People who have just gone to watch the aircraft, enjoy the atmosphere and see friends they see once a...

Re: The future of RIAT
I do however agree with those calling DBH out on the admission costs. Yes it may well present reasonable value for money for an adult with kids whose admission is free. For the lone adult or one with Mrs or older child it is a hell of an expensive trip. £110 for me and my 21yr old, sorry you are ta...

Re: The future of RIAT
Whilst Fairford continues to host RIAT I think it will continue to flourish though over time may continue to evolve in such a way does not generally satisfy the ardent "riat in the 90s" enthusiast. I do however agree with those calling DBH out on the admission costs. Yes it may well presen...

Re: Albrighton Sports Complex - OPEN
Could someone provide some photos from the FC from previous years please? I am afraid you are flogging a dead horse here mate. To post such pictures would bring down the wrath of the righteous, indeed would "out" the photographer as a freeloader, and further more a danger to him/herself a...

Re: Red Arrows incident
Rather like the chicken and egg, in an aviation incident discussion what comes first, the "mustn't speculate" or the "thoughts and prayers"? Either way, they're both forms of virtue signalling. As for the photographer, I doubt the pictures were taken without his knowledge. Not t...

Re: Red Arrows incident
I've never understood the level of vitriol and hate which seems to get poured on people just because they happened to be 'in the right place at the right time' to film/ photograph a event. Profiting off someone's death before the body is even buried. Hope that's helped clear up your confusion. Do y...

Re: Red Arrows incident
After an incident such as this I think it is quite normal for people who have an interest in aviation to discuss and yes speculate what may have happened. What I have noticed in recent years these sad events seem to have generated threads that seem to be seen as an ideal soap box for some to tell ot...

Re: Where has XH558 thread gone?
Is it just a trick of the foreshortening by the use of a long lens or do they appear to have some sort of scissor lift/ platform under the tail boom presumably in an attempt to prevent the aircraft tipping up on its tail in the event of heavy snowfall or strong winds?. No long lens trickery here, t...

Re: AN22 Manchester this week ?
I would be surprised if it leaves at 1400 as it is well behind schedule. If anyone gets a revised departure time please post!!
Also it is apparently due back Tuesday for a Wednesday departure.
