Re: Red route shambles - came home.

Camping near Cirencester. I Join the green route at Meysey Hampton. I left my tent at around 0620 this morning and hit the back of the queue just coming in to Marston Meysey. On the base before 0645.

I'd not come in any later than that myself. Prepare to queue if you are leaving Brum at 6am.

Re: RIAT 2018 discussion

Well this f35 display is about as tight as a 90 year olds you know what! Considering that i thought we were only getting 3 flypasts i thought it was rather impressive we got to feel the force of the F135 engine! Not complaining. Agree it was a great noise and there were some tight turns. Just seeme...

Re: RIAT 2018 discussion

The wx looked horrendous out Gloucester way from my vantage point out West. From a personal point of view I was almost glad when the Lanc pulled back off the runway. I'd rather see it display for another 5,10,20 years than risk it for a flypast today.

Really frustrating but 100% the right decision.

Will be back to normal next year wont it? I think most if not all air arms will have known how long they were committing to so I genuinely dont see it as an issue. It could however be the reason that some of the "expected countries" haven't agreed to send items. As a punter I/you have the ...

May get shot down for this, but, you go to an airshow to watch aircraft, not to watch a footie match, regardless if it’s a World Cup final.

After paying 300 for accommodation 200 on tickets and 70 on train ticket i can’t help feel a bit meh about the lineup. I’m sure that’ll change once i’m there! Its only money. You could spend all that on a season ticket for football. Or a weekend at the f1. Plenty going on yesterday to reassure. Tod...

Good point about cooling down. Just wouldnt make for good photos/ video of the flyover though unfortunately as due about 2pm.

Re: 2018 Tickets

Was chatting to matey on the gate who said the total p&v capacity is 3200. If so this means around 1000 tickets available on the gate.

Thats not official of course.
