Not only do we need vaccination to be very advanced in this country, but also in many other countries too. I expect DBH are in contact with many foreign air forces who have no idea if they can make it to RIAT. All we can do is watch and wait, and if the show goes ahead then I expect fewer air arms t...

Never had any issues getting trade day tickets for 20 years. Personally I like that it is trade only days, it has been a long time coming. When thinking of coming accept the flying is a small part of the event and is not there to entertain you, its there to sell aircraft. Same with the static posit...

I think that some, if not all American aircraft and German aircraft do not carry registrations under the wing. Most other civil operators into LHR do carry an under wing registration. The port or starboard wing point, I couldn't say for sure.

There was talk in 2005 or 2006 of Tomcats at RIAT, rumour only, but it seemed to have some "legs" to it.....pity I wanted wings.

Put me down for this one.

Thanks Phil and team.

A Chipmunk was in the area, yesterday, I think.

Morane Saulnier is on the list, but wasn't it this aircraft that landed on a Sidmouth beach! Or am I confused? That's like saying there's a Hawker or a Boeing or a Lockheed on the list- there's a lot of Morane Saulnier types around- TypeN, 406, 505, 230, 315, Paris, Alcyon, Rallye etc etc... Thanks...

A quick note, 2 aircraft from the Blades Display Team have landed earlier.....could be related to the validations? Time will tell.

I would like to thank Phil and the Station team for another great event. It was sad to hear about the non-running of engines at this event. However, as a someone who has been to nearly all these events any change to the way the event is structured is an opportunity to experiment with a different com...

An understandable shame. Hope the new arrangements can be sorted quickly following these issues.

I was looking at the FAQs earlier, as I needed some information. There's a small piece of information in-relation to the flying display, which you may find interesting: We are now in the full throes of organising the exciting 2018 show. Centred around the theme of ‘Pioneers Of The Sky’ there will b...

but would like to know what midges eat when there aren't spotters around......

No, you don't! This from a local.

I saw the weather, but was unfortunately unable to get out for an early season start. So thank you for sharing, I will be there soon hopefully.

Erm I think you'll find that the birds have been there since at least 1977 in fact I believe they originated from there when a freight train derailed between Mottingham and Lee stations ,the loco rolled down an embankment and demolished an aviary in someone's back garden containing said birds,soon ...

Missed this!

There was talk of a combined Typhoon and Rafale flypast. Missed that as well!!!

Good catch Wezgulf3.

The people travelling on the M3 this evening will no doubt be aware the main roadworks on the M3 from J2 to J4a have finished but there are still other works going on after 8PM Wednesday 18 October– Thursday 19 October 2017 Where: M3 Jct 2 to 3 southbound including the M25 junction 12 clockwise slip...

Yes, please count me in!

Phil always tries, and succeeds a lot of the time, in getting rare and interesting aircraft. Long may that continue!

Good stuff.

One question by the OP not clearly answered in the replies above is why the P&V's don't appear on the showground map. The showground maps are for the show days and P&V only operates on arrivals and departures days. Friday used to be an arrivals and practice day in years (decades) gone by, an...

Anything from the French military is always welcome. However, the old adage is until "le wheels" touch the tarmac it I don't believe it! The last Northolt was the exception, 99.9% of those items invited turned up. I am not that lucky twice in a row. Something won't show, but you never know...

Probably me confirming the Ex-Belarus Air Force Su-27 coming over from Area 51 to visit Boscombe Down and heading to the nightshoot is not going to help......











.......joke!

Keep Calm.

What a great machine.

Thanks for sharing those.

I never expected to see that aircraft this side of the pond!

Am I jealous? Absolutely.

Footlball is a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans and rugby is game for hooligans played by gentlemen. I always look to football to lead, but with incredible levels of corruption, the lack of video assistance for referee's, and to top it off football is looking at sin bins for yellow cards, it ...

This photo database has had it's webpages revamped and updated.

I do use Jetphotos.com for some of my own photos, but my few hundred are mixed in with 3 million other photos!

You could go Pokemon style hunting for my photos, no prizes!
