Re: Farnborough International Airshow 2018
I think I must go to a different show to everybody else. I went today and thought it was pretty good. I thought the flying was good, not brilliant but OK. The LM100 was a bit of a disappointment as it's display was about 1/2 the duration and 1/2 the aerobatics of when I saw it in validation. Still ...

Re: Farnborough International Airshow 2018
the social media team seem utterly useless, having seen a provisional line up for tomorrows flying i'd be very disappointed as most of the Red Bull stuff isn't even on it... Trouble was the organisers only booked them for the actual public days & didn't include the Friday despite the fact that ...

I'd have thought the the Flying Bulls would be added to the line up.
Unfortunately they were only ever booked for the Saturday & Sunday.

Re: Farnborough International Airshow 2018
I have to be honest i was buzzing with the announcement of the Spanish Navy Harrier and honestly thought this was the start of some interesting announcements, but seeing the Blades announced as a headline act just baffles me. It's down to money. 2Excel pump a lot of money into the show and provide ...

Love all the stuff that's being confirmed for 'static' at the weekend. How about some 'flying' stuff. After all it's supposed to be an air show!

Agreed! Those two Wacos are something really special. For me there's just something about 30s biplanes that scream 'style'.

Re: Farnborough International Airshow 2018
Looks like no Typhoon this year again. Will be overseas at the Croatian International Airshow https://twitter.com/tif_live/status/971837373184118784 The quote under that photo is very misleading because the RAF Typhoon didn't actually miss the show in 2016 as it was never going to be there.

As it will be flypasts only they will probably still be there. Their display list clearly says it doesn't include events where it is flypasts only.

Re: F1 2018
F1 is now at a point where the sport is probably beyond saving in its current guise. * Too expensive (for the teams AND spectators). * Hidden away on subscription or pay-per-view TV. * Too complex (SEVEN dry tyre compounds, really? Should be three - wet, inters and dry). * Reliance on computers, si...

Great series of shots especially in what must have been freezing conditions.
Re: F1 2018
the fuel always took much longer than the wheels so the crews on each wheel could take their time and make sure it went on correctly. And even then the pit-crew would rush the wheel changes and finish them in about half the time the refuelling took. I also seem to recall that following a number of ...

Re: Red Arrows incident
It's not just the publication of the photos is distasteful it's also the fact that it was apparently a member of a spotters group that was hawking them around the news media trying to get as much as he could for them. This despite the fact that MOD had requested that this wasn't done and that any im...

According to SWAG, another Hunter arrived about an hour ago :Landing at 14:20 from Leeuwarden is "GKAXF" Hunter F.6A..parking at Horizon
That's the one that Rod Dean used to fly when it was based in the UK. Gorgeous aircraft with a genuine 'blue note'.

Re: F1 2018
If you swapped the colour schemes around between most of those you wouldn't know the difference. Gone are the days of innovation. You could say the same about airliners - how many modern airliners are not the standard twin jet with the engines slung under the low wing? I assume that the rash of sim...
