Re: Flying Legends 2014!

Oh my. Have been waiting what seems ages to see the p38 and b25.
I always book my trips as soon as tickets are released so few details are known at time of purchase.

Re: FAO Andy Armstrong - How To Solve A Problem Like RIAT...

There are many things that people want to do and can't afford, so you know what, they don't get to do them, fact of life.

Really tempted to get to this.
Friday to Monday looks reasonable cost wise. Fly into Eindhoven stay nearby and drive down each day. Approx cost £450.

Re: Riat On The Friday

I'm tempted but not quite convinced yet.
Am planning a trip to Cosford for friday then to riat on Saturday and legends on sunday finishing at hendon on Monday then back home to Belfast.

Friday is appealing but would prefer a better idea of likely appearances etc
