Re: Brize Norton flypasts

My question therefore is whether there's a specific reason we never see anything from Brize perform a flypast at RIAT. Or have we in the past? Another consideration is every RAF task is timed. Deapite the proximity, if they have to hold before performing a flyby. There's also the aircrafts fuel and...

Re: UKAR in 2017: What For The Future?

You are bang, what a great and insightful post. IMHO the rhetoric, which seems to be some sort of counter productive attempt to revive interest has been turning some people off since about last May.
