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 ...

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: 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...

That's the one that Rod Dean used to fly when it was based in the UK. Gorgeous aircraft with a genuine 'blue note'.

Very nice low level shots. I was there that days as well. Great light most of the day but an evil cold wind. I managed to skip the snow shower by being in the Ropley sheds at the time. Your views of the two complete trains gives a good idea of how empty they were unfortunately. I think many were put...

Re: Science Museum - London
It's criminal what they did to the SC.1, chopping one wing off because their designer decided that where he wanted to go it wouldn't fit with two wings. Typical of a designer that has no clue of the history of the items he has to place. Oh and "chopped" is the correct word as that is exact...
