Awesome! That looks absolutely superb!

Incredible. I saw it the first time last year and it was a very pale shadow of that. Incredible just how much things have changed in a decade.

A BOAC Dreamliner or A380 would be quite something!

These are looking great mate nice work! I do love a Seafire!

Lovely job! Very nice indeed is that!

Yep it's official. It doesn't matter what the RAF do people aren't happy.

Perhaps punters are more savvy than RIAT think re the Friday pricing and they are having to back peddle? i think they are doing just that. the question still remains, why would anyone pay near full price for a ticket for half a show day? It's not even "near" full price-the tickets cost ex...

I did wonder. Too late for me anyway hotel is booked and for the first time in many years I won't be doing Friday. A shame but hopefully the message will be received.

No it was black originally. I don't know if it flew with a black radome but it was certainly rolled out as such. It looks better than the grey anyway https://www.airliners.net/photo/UK-Air-Force/Panavia-Tornado-F3/1100821/L I'm pretty sure it did fly with the black redone but maybe only once. The a...

Lovely job mate! I'm working on the GR4 at present and finding the same. Some fit issues I haven't really conquered but it's building into a smart Tornado. Anything like those two I'd be very happy with!

Well I've booked for next year as had a bit of a bonus from work so seemed a good use of it. A bit upset at having missed the Super Earlybird for Saturday already. I couldn't afford them before so it can't be helped but it does seem the number of tickets at the discount rate has been cut. Also this ...

Lovely! That's really nice and not the easiest of schemes!

Some aircraft do, some don't. I like the look of twin-seat F-15s and F-18s but hate the look of twin seat F-16s. I think single-seat Hunters are better looking than bulbous twin-seaters, yet quite like the look of a similarly bulbous two-seat Lightning. Although I didn't dislike them, I think a sin...

I've got a collection of around 300 models, mostly Corgi military and British or German but with a decent sized collection of 1:200 scale airliners which really are beautiful models. As for favourites it's almost impossible to pin down. I love my Swordfish and the 1:48 Lightning is a spectacular loo...

I think I am right in saying that the Su-27 Flanker is the only aircraft that did not need to be 'stretched' to make a two-seater. The single-seat Su-27 Flanker-B is exactly the same length as the two-seat Su-27UB Flanker-C - the only difference is the upper fuselage contours and taller fins. It is...

Stunning job on a beautiful scheme! I love it!

Nice job! The Hog certainly has something about it! You're churning out models at a good rate lately, excellent effort especially for during the summer!

A fascinating look at just how far things have come. Did it have no national markings at all?

Maximum of two jets at a time can be refuelled. Even on the three pointers. They use either the centre point for large types or the two wing pods. Interestingly the Voyager cannot be refuelled, they don't have probes and as an Airbus type they don't have the boom recepticle. I presume a probe could ...

Lovely job Derek that really does look the part! The F-15 definitely has something about it. Mud Hen next?

I dont think anyone has mentioned 100% secure as a target. I think we all know that it cant be acheived. But (not just this year) there are always examples quoted of where security could easily be better, wasted resoures or procedures more consistanly applied. That's the point I'm making though. Fo...

All of this comment ignores the fact that 100% secure is impossible at any time, let alone at an event on this scale. The best organisers can realistically do is hopefully persuade would be attackers that it's too difficult to be worthwhile. Having hundreds of armed police and military is the bigges...

Previous events were run to raise funds for the station families day. As far as i'm aware this one was the same.

I think I've been papped in that last image there, you should have said hello! As for the day, well the pictures say it all really. After the last one where the location wasn't ideal I was hoping lessons would have been learned and something more like the first two events would be delivered. Sadly n...

Regardless of the arguments over military necessity and lives saved etc surely this ignores a glaring problem in the Typhoon's armoury, mainly that today I still don't think they're using Brimstone? A one size fits all policy is not good, especially if you have to engage near friendly forces. Typhoo...
