Re: Northolt Night Photoshoot XXIX Thursday 5th October 2023

Unfortunately, I’m due to work nights that week. If you’re able to get a Wildcat from 825NAS to attend, then hopefully the squadron might allow me to go with it :fingers_crossed:

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread

Is there anyone traveling to RIAT on the Thursday from RNAS Yeovilton/Somerset area that has a spare seat available, please? I’d be hugely grateful, and more than happy to contribute towards fuel and refreshments.

Thanks,
James

Re: Cosford 2023 thoughts and views?

One of my criticisms of this year’s show would be the atrocious site layout. There was a complete lack of space along the crowdline due to cars, food vendors, and ice cream vans being parked far too close to the front. At one stage a car forced its way through spectators in an attempt to exit, clipp...

I remember when I used to get the trains to the show it was not comfortable I’ll put it that way and yes there is a chance of missing the train if there is not enough space
Still puzzles me as to why the event is on a Sunday - a notoriously difficult day to travel by train.

Rich Goodwin’s ‘Jet Pitts’ will now be on static display. He’ll be displaying G-EWIZ instead.

Re: Cosford Airshow 2023 (discuss everything)

ARCo’s Blenheim would be a suitable - and probably well-received - replacement for the B-17, but will the organisers bother to contact them? Probably not.

Re: RIAT 2023 wish list

Just witnessed what appeared to be a Merlin HC4 two-ship demonstration over Yeovilton. Hopefully working on a potential routine for this summer - would be a nice addition to RIAT. It’s very likely to be a one-off demo for the RNAS Yeovilton wings parade rather than a summer display routine. https:/...

Was it the solo demo?
Are they rehearsing a pairs routine too?
Solo.

I was hoping Cosford’s PR and marketing would improve following last year’s farce, but there appears to have been no attempt. Where’s the static display?

Re: RIAT 2023 wish list

Seeing as the RN Merlin is out and about this year (so it seems and with no Yeovilton also), even though i'm not that much of a chopper fan, it'd be great to see one display at RIAT. Love the sound and presence of it! I initially assumed it was an error, and that it would be a Merlin HM2 rather tha...

Ultimate Fighters flew as a four-ship in 2019 and 2021, and have since displayed in various guises including a two-ship TF-51/P-47 formation at Air Legend last September. The Gnats, meanwhile, have performed at a handful of shows since their tragic accident, including Little Gransden in 2016, and Mi...

I agree - Patrouille Suisse are a fantastic catch. Whilst I appreciate that my comment may have seemed a little harsh, there are plenty of unique and interesting types on the civilian circuit that would be well-suited to Cosford. A few that come to mind include the Gnat Display Team, Ultimate Fighte...

Re: Cosford Airshow 2023 (discuss everything)

As it currently stands, the Jordanian Falcons will be one of this year’s highlights. I appreciate there’s still a couple of months remaining, but the organisers seem to be lacking creativity so far.
