Re: FRIAT 2024

Even though I’m a FRIAT member I don’t seem to have got this email. Would anyone be so kind to send it over to me if I DM you my address please? First check your junk email folder as some people have had their FRIAT emails end up there, if you still don't have it contact Wendy and she will send it ...

Re: FRIAT 2024

Can I use the Swindon Shuttle bus with FRIAT? I've got my place booked in the grandstand, and I know that blue car park is used for FRIAT, but can I get shuttle bus tickets? If so, how? The last couple of years I've driven to Swindon, parked, then used the shuttle bus. Shuttle bus only runs for the...

Re: Best Grandstand seat for FRIAT 2024

Thanks for that advice. How does the Friday show differ from Saturday in terms of flying time, numbers of aircraft and opening hours? It's just that I'm primarily interested in the RIAT from the photography angle, so I was wondering whether the extra cost of the Saturday show would be worth it. FRI...

Re: RIAT 2024 - discuss most things thread

Looking forward to it, but I think I will only do Saturday and Sunday. As much as I enjoy the Friday, its too much to do all 3 days with the travelling involved. It just tires me too much. Perhaps if you didn't stay so far away you wouldn't be so tired.... Plenty of accommodation closer than Bristol.

Does anybody have an idea how exactly to purchase tickets? The website says: "Ticket sales will start after selecting the operator". Where/When/How can you purchase tickets?? Anybody?
The organiser's said tickets won't be on sale until June at the earliest
