Re: Northolt Night Photoshoot XXVIIa Thursday 13th October 2022

Many thanks to Phil and his team for a very enjoyable couple of hours in West London. Blown away, literally, when the Hercules and A400 reversed before turning around to leave but the highlight for me was flames from the Hurricane exhaust during its ground. Not seen that before. Absolutely agree. P...

Are engine runs stilled banned?
Static engine runs will not happen. But a lot of the aircraft will be departing before the event ends
Ah, right. That's good enough for me :thumbsup: .
Should be a good night.

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2022 - 10th & 11th September

So it seems most on this forum are 100% in agreement the show should happen (unsurprising given its a site for airshows I guess). I take it these same people are highly critical of NI Airshow, Abingdon, and virtually every sporting fixture this weekend including all tiers of every football league a...

Abingdon get it. Take a look at their FB page, most comments there saying it's the right decision. It's about respect. That's it.
So 'most' comments, not all then? Why can't Duxford still go ahead and still show respect?

Reminds me of the excellent and entertaining Fred Dibnah. Wasn't there an old aviation themed movie, that featured a steam enginecalled "Dreadnought". My memory may be faulty, but it involved a technocrat type Yank, who ended up falling in love with a steam engine. Your memorys not comple...

Lakenheath T-38?

Just browsing ADSB and noticed a T-38 coming out of Lakenheath? Not heard anything about it. Is it correct or a 'misreading' by ADSB? (F-35)? At the moment its showing over the North Sea with 2 Mildenhall tankers and something else.

The big ones at Farnborough

Not a classic year at Farnborough as many have said but still good to see the big airliners being thrown about. Also a couple of my personal favourites. In no particular order.

Re: FIA 2022

Went to the show yesterday. Wasn't going to bother to go in but I missed 80% of the arrivals due to being in hospital. In general it was lacklustre, and that was not just due to the heat. The Italian area had 2 aircraft and 2 helis, normally trebble that, Textron just 2 Bell's, no Beech or Cessna. ...

Re: FIA 2022

These new rules regarding flying displays at Farnborough really don't make much sense. The Black Eagles spent all last week practicing at 20min formation display over Farnborough and yet 4 days later, they are only allowed to do a single fly past for the actual airshow. How does that make any sense...
