Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread

Just hope there are no leaks like the other year with the harriers. Don't want them to lose trust To be honest I think it is unrealistic and unfair to give privileged information and not expect it to be passed onwards. Think about it, why should a limited number of FRIAT members be given that infor...

Why don’t we make it a members only forum. Would that not speed things up and keep the bots out ?

Panasonic Compact TZ series

Looking to replace my Panasonic compact TZ60 which seems to be coming to the end of its life. Panasonic have stopped making them and it seems there is nowhere to buy a new TZ whether it is a 70 or 80. An other alternative is to try to the used market but not sure where to go. Grateful for any help o...

Pretty sure it flew overhead at lowish level near RSPB Pulborough on Wednesday last week. It was too quick to get the camera out the rucksack unfortunately

RAF Leeming

FWIW Just read a click bait from Yorkshire Post saying that RAF Leeming is about to enter period of 'significant additional aircraft movement' with 24-hour flying for the rest of 2023 as it hosts several exercises The RAF said: “The station is about to enter a period of significant additional aircra...

Re: NATO Tiger Meet 2024

Interesting... so back to Jagel then. I enjoyed 2014 and it's a beautiful part of the world. Agreed it is a beautiful unspoilt part of the world. However I felt that the 2014 event itself was hugely disappointing. The spotters were crammed in and poorly placed for anything other than taxi shots (if...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread

To me its simple... for pure safety planning reasons organisers have to assume that every person who has the right to access an area will when working out capacity and therefore advanced ticket sale limits. That means assuming FRIAT will all be in East or West instead of their enclosure. That's reg...

For anyone that hasn't seen, the American Flying Day looks fantastic!
Very tempting. Quick Question - do we need to get a car parking ticket as well and where do they park the cars - on site or across the road.
TIA

Try www.xcweather.co.uk, they give % cloud cover for every three hour period as well as mm of rain, temp and wind speed / direction.
