Ah that's very nice indeed, I like that very much!

Its so hard to pick just three for this one.

Sanicole is also in September, and shares much of the RIAT participant-base. It certainly seemed the case that Scampton lost out due to to this.

Exactly. How those folks are going to be 'just fine' when they are staring bankruptcy in the face is a good question isn't it. Let's not forget the actual cost of brexit either. How many billions, so far.. I don't really want to look it up, but huge amounts of cash has been spent on the whole thing ...

What a great watch that is, with stills at the end too. So much variety on show there.

'77 could've been debut season for Hawk and Harrier GR3 maybe?

Because very many employers’ prosperity was reliant on us being members. Many many jobs are less secure now. This is the thing, it doesn’t matter what empty rhetoric is broadcast about opportunities that may be over the hill, about the adjustment that may or may not happen, but the actual reality is...

What nonsense. The single most important thing to any country is the strength of its economy. Anything that wilfully damages that economy is an acute act of self harm. To vote yourself into insecurity is lunacy and certainly can't be compensated by comparing any of this to a personal relationship. D...

There have been some very characterful Grumman products over the years, nice subject. Here's a Duck to start. Sun blazing onto concrete was a bit a of problem with this photo, and sadly I didn't see it fly. What a machine though.Shot at the now closed Fantasy of Flight in central Florida. https://li...

I can't see any circumstance where a vaccine, or if I'm honest even a test result, is needed for an outdoor event. The key thing is that the vulnerable in society are vaccinated, and therefore taken out of the sights of the virus. That hugely lessens the risk of the whole thing. Add to that the airf...

The first comp that's more or less snookered me Ian :grinning: Here's the Fairford showground from a Croatian Mil Mi-8 https://live.staticflickr.com/4394/36255353950_ca3d1079de_o.jpg the very basic interior of a Fieseler Storch following a display at Fantasy of Flight in Florida https://live.staticf...

and I'll start with the same machine, sitting in the evening sun alongside the Kempsford hedge https://live.staticflickr.com/4565/38750319081_4cd3f6e2e8_o.jpg then slipping back a few years more, the excellent one-year-only Double Dutch display team of 1988, here at Yeovilton https://live.staticflic...

If you’re really stuck Pete, there’s no harm in overlapping subjects that have been touched on before, as it would give everyone a chance to submit some new and different entries.

Back at the start it was one image only submission, so there’s plenty of untapped material there I’d guess.

A challenging theme!





and one from the archive

I don't think I have many shots of airframes stripped back in hangars, so here are a selection that otherwise may qualify under 'Maintenance and Service' https://live.staticflickr.com/4746/38887591284_64f2bcabc2_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/4530/38319994914_fe3fb45fa3_o.jpg https://live.stati...

Lovely theme for an aerobatic team fan like me. If rather difficult to narrow many to three, so my selection is rather arbitrary. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48535630186_9dab024686_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/856/42775318455_7c9b3a7062_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/848/43048376...

I think I must have been stood beside Ian at Cottesmore, and Andy on the station platform at Cosford, as I have barely distinguishable shots from both of yours for those two days! The Harrier retirement is still galling all these years later. A withdrawal decision that seemed to make no sense and an...

I spent a good couple of hours with the book last night, and that wasn't enough for more than a cursory glance through. Its a really hefty piece of work, and in my opinion, absolutely captures IAT. It projects the atmosphere of the show, in the number of photographs, by including memorabilia and eph...

ooh difficult to pick three here in a couple of minutes Starting with a recent one, Viggen at Southport, an airshow at its best https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48754835672_042451e6c3_o.jpg the Danish flag is irresistible here https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48535785457_30822ec0b6_o.jpg a Nor...

Surely the big one is social distancing. If social distancing is in place, FRIAT and other enclosures are out of the question, and the meetings of the air arms etc will be impacted, though possible I guess? Those are just some of the challenges. Even crowd line distancing would be a challenge. I no...

The IAT 89 KC-135R as featured in the ‘SAC Attack’ set piece is my second entry on the previous page of this thread.

I have shots of the A in the 85 flying display - I won’t knock the thread off track for now

Three from the 'old stuff'.

As the aircraft is TBD, more likely an F-15 Heritage Flight with the Friedkin's P-51's. Lot of expense to bring an A-10 or two/ground crew/equipment all the way across the pond just for two British airshows. A-10 Demo Team published its schedule overnight Brian, with Legends on it. No doubt, its th...
