Sad to see it go, as access at Lossie will be a lot more difficult. On the other hand, I'm hoping it'll be well looked after up there.

Re: Suggestions for upgrade from Canon "Kit" lens
My recommendation would be the Canon 15-85 f3.5 -5.6 Covers the same range as a 24-105 on the crop 80D. Had one myself for years, sharp as a tack. Loads available second hand. Still keep one in the bag for use with the creaking 70D.

Re: Your favourite mark of Spitfire
I have a particular affection for the Mk XIV, NH799, having seen it under restoration in Ardmore and later completed in Omaka, but the best and my favourite has to be a Mk IX and if I'm pushed to an individual machine then MH434 is the one.

Re: Time for a new UK military airshow?
Bit of thread creep but it's a big no thanks for a Winter Airshow. I remember the 16 and 54 Sqn disbandment ceremony at Coltishall one freezing cold day in March 2005. We had a cold wind off the North Sea, rain and the night before there was snow on the ground! Still that display and airfield attack...

Re: Black Eagles question……
Interesting view of the new hangars at 1.44. There don't appear to be any cut outs in the doors for tall fins to fit into...almost like they are being designed for aircraft with a wide wingspan and not a lot of height....almost flying wing shaped.....

Re: RIAT 2022 Discussion Thread
My Thoughts for Wednesday to Friday. Wednesday: Occasionally slow but there were 3 years to catch up on with people not seen in ages, so it wasn't noticed that much. Minor gripe, why have they stopped using the carpark right outside the entry tent for P&V East? Carrying a whole load of tackle fr...

Thanks Frecce for turning your engines towards the 27 Park&View. A good 15 minutes of heat, fumes and oil in the air.

Well a mixed bag today. It looked like a Civvy Bizjet meet for a while with a few Pilatexans throw in, but then the Luftwaffe Tonkas arrived....and then some!!

Reckon they'll be at Boscombe over the show, as all the ground kit is there. As long as they display on Friday, I'll be a happy camper.
A practice on Wednesday or Thursday would be even better
