Accepting the case that the Reds had to delay their display by 30 minutes to gain the necessary airspace (allegedly?) pray tell why that caused the Balbo to be "truncated" to quote the all knowing Ben? It's a fact that the excuse for a Finale minus the tail-chase could easily have fitted ...

Very sad news indeed.

Superb day so far, the Lancaster and B-17 flypast was a lot closer than expected and they stayed together for three passes too, the Swordfish and Catalina flypast? Not so much. 😅 Though it did fly with the Nimrod which was a nice touch. Just waiting for the air space clearence for the Red Arrows wh...

As the 9a/c took off east to west, 8 of them turned south to start the tail chase. One of the two seaters turned north then straight back to the runway landing west to east - engine sounded ok but it was back safe and sound on the ground. The Spitfire in question, PT462 both engine ran and flew aga...

Three Harvard's, is a nice addition considering its Reno connection however, the Navy Wings example has to be a contender for ugliest Harvard out there.

Still a little strange the Blenheim hasn’t found its way onto the list though.

I believe it's not very well at the moment.

Ah, that explains it then. That's a shame.

Additions to the flying today. Fokker DR1 and SE5A (Replicas) Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia X4650 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ia AR213 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb BM597 Westland Lysander Mk.III SD V9552 Avro Anson C19 G-AHKX Gloster Gladiator Mk.I L8032 Those are very nice additions. Still a little strange...

Anyone else a little bit disappointed with the flying list? It's not like it's bad but I just thought it would be better. Certainly better in previous years in my opinion.

Absolutely adore that second picture of the Lancaster, it is superb!

To me, when I look at a Shuttleworth line up, I'm looking at the visiting aircraft. That's what decides it for me. So although none of the themes sound particularly spectacular (would have loved a return of the Fly Navy event) it will depend on what visiting aircraft are booked.

Does anyone know how much you save on the early bird tickets? Maybe I'm blind but I can't see anywhere where it states how much the tickets will be after he early bird time passes? Doe anyone know when the saving ends too?

For anyone that hasn't seen, the American Flying Day looks fantastic!

I really hope the Saab SK60 wins a few awards - one of the most elegant displays I've ever seen, over multiple days.

Absolutely. Total class act that one! Beautifully flown, so smooth and graceful. (Unbelievably quiet too)

Well, I had a fabulous time! 💁‍♀️ Yeah there were a few annoying bits, the new security checks, a few too many of the toilets being closed but that really pales in comparison to the flying I enjoyed. Friday, (even if afterwards I did feel shoes were anchored to the ground with the amount of water in...

Hope everyone that went had a great time!

How busy was it?

Always been a great lover of Flying Legends but it was just too far easier getting to RIAT on public transport from London. Hopefully it will make a return on a different weekend next year!

Thankyou!

Does anyone know what the first few items are tomorrow? Going with my parents so might end up missing the first few but hopefully nothing too special in the first few items.

First cancellation in the Saab Gripen E, hopefully not too much more. Also hope people are struggling in the queues as the Yellow entrance was pretty horrendous. You hope people are struggling? Bit harsh, I'm sure you meant arent Very much a typo 😅 Have to say it was a shambles getting in and out u...

Really beautiful set. Particularly like the atmosphere shots.

I cant lie, without more visiting acts added, which is doesn’t say there are more to be announced, this line up doesn’t particularly interest me.

The J-20 Kraguj was a real highlight for me, love the noise it makes. The Navion was wonderful too. The B-17 did a fabulous display as did the Gazelle Squadron. Yes, the wind did spoil things and tech issues did see a couple of the highlights drop off the display but neither of those can be helped. ...

It does still say, more visiting acts to be announced, I wish they would take that off if it isn't the case.

For anyone that plays FS2020 the Ford Trimotor is free in the Marketplace until the 30th of June.

I wouldn't call it perfect but for free, it's worth picking up.
