TFC have been good having aircraft outside for the public to see and today the Commanche Fighters P-51/Hun Hunter and the two 2 Mk1 Spitfires with one having an engine run. Doubt there will be anything out for the weekend though.

I though it was raining but as I looked outside, it's snowing.

Tickets for the 22nd May Flying Day are now available. Would anyone happen to know if there is likely to be a limit on numbers?

Last year it was 2,000 and the date is still blocked on the web site.

Having received my new Sony A7C camera during Lockdown 3.0, I’ve been itching to take it out on a proper test drive. The A7C (C = Compact) is a ‘bits of’ ‘camera. It has the same 24.2 megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated full-frame sensor, 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) system as used in th...

Schemes to introduce such passports have been touted around the world as a way to enable safe circulation of people while fighting the pandemic. But c...

Good to see all the protests today all over the country.

So you are now condoning civil disobedience. How many police officers were carrying pointed sticks or even knives as one woman was arrested for?.

But anyway, this quote I have just read from the PM is very disturbing. Boris Johnson says two vaccinated people cannot meet indoors because the "vaccines are not giving 100% protection", which is why "we just need to be cautious". So basically, that means we will not be able to ever meet anyone fr...

try doing some yourself "Brick Wall - several times comes to mind........

I'm feeding the troll again.

What does 'Brick Wall' mean?

If the very person who invented the PCR test states that it is Not suitable for confirming that the Covid19 virus is present in someone tested by it, and that it should Not be relied upon as it will generate more false positives Where in that video was Covid-19 mentioned? Mullis was discussing PCR ...

Lots of interesting Mystery subjects on Quest and Dave - from Bermuda Triangle stuff - to Animal mysteries with William Shatner and a few UFO things thrown in for good measure.

And some of us live in the real world and have real lives and not driven by conspiracy theories.

Good article on summer events and the lack of Government-backed cancellation insurance. The same reason RIAT appears to have binned it:

And you need to subscribe to see it.

So basically, if you turn up with a general admission ticket on 24-04-2021 'to see whatever is outside' the closed hangars, are you still going to see any flying as well ? With tickets available for General Admission on the 24th, I doubt very much it will be a 'Flying Day' event. From the FAQ's for...

Just watched a bit and he does like the sound of his own voice and you would think by now he had learnt how to pan and zoom smoothly.

Considering none of the IWM aircraft are outside I hope DAS are receiving some, if not all, this income.

DAS are not part of or belong to IWM.

So Lockdown 4.0 will be along soon. https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/7E08/production/_117646223_697821e5-1e59-4ab7-8967-c8b735c650d7.jpg Thousands of tightly-packed anti-lockdown protesters marched up Whitehall with some chanting "freedom" to the beat of a drum.

I see PMBJ claims he didn't feel a thing when given his first COVID-19 jab today.

I never felt a thing either. I know a lot of other people never felt a thing. What's unusual about that?.

Duxford is opening again, just the outside, not the hangars.



At least there will be some warbird flying on the 12th.

She's at it again. The EU today declared vaccine war on the UK as it demanded Britain hand over doses of its AstraZeneca jab or else see exports from the continent blocked, despite the fact that most of Europe has stopped using the jab. EU president Ursula von der Leyen fumed that Europe is exportin...
