Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread

Did the Zambian C-27 have a potentially provocative name by any chance? 😂

Pair of Herks and an A400M currently in formation in the the Bristol Channel at the moment. Callsign “Griffin”. Flypast practice?
They've just flown over me near Cricklade as well. A400 with a Herc on each wing. Looked like it could well be a rehearsal.

Re: Sustainability @ RIAT

No jollies in helicopters to get aerial shots of rare visitors arriving over the airfield. I wonder if this sort of thing could be done using a drone?

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread

Awesome news about the Black Eagles.

I seem to recall that the last time they were here in 2012 the jets were shipped over in cargo planes and reassembled at an RAF base for test flights. I wonder what the plan is this time?

At the risk of boring everyone with yet another thread about RIAT, here are a selection of my pictures from the week. All were taken at Totterdown Hill campsite.

Re: RIAT 2050 wish list

Due to global warming and the melting of the polar ice caps, RIAT 2050 will be a seaside show. George Bacon will still be constantly reminding us to check out the Techno Zone, even though it's a bit wet now.

Re: RIAT 2018 discussion

I've just watched a video on YouTube of the 2008 fly past and counted 90, which would seem appropriate. I know times have changed even since then with regard to the number of aircraft that the RAF are able to muster, but it makes the prospect of only 50 aircraft for a much more significant anniversa...
