Re: Arrivals 2022
Disappointing Rafale and F16 have rehearsed.
What do we think are the chances of them rehearsing again tomorrow?

Re: Arrivals 2022
Having seen the 2022 Rafale display several times at LFA last week, I’d say it is excellent. Why did you find it ‘disappointing’?
Re: Arrivals 2022
Don't think it was the practice that was disappointing.. I think it was the fact they missed it. And the F16 didn't rehearse, he just had a recce and went back to Brize.
Re: Arrivals 2022
I think they meant that it was today, rather than tomorrow.
Suspect now they’ve validated they won’t bother tomorrow, same with the F-16. Who knows!

Re: Arrivals 2022
What has arrived today then at Cosford ? Obviously a question to anyone who has left there late today. Just thinking if it's worth the trip tomorrow or not .Thanks in advance for any info.
Re: Arrivals 2022
The F16 viper and Rafale did a full display.
The f16 recce people are on about was earlier in the day

Re: Arrivals 2022
I haven’t been there today so can’t confirm, but it sounds as though today was the day to be there. Not much else to validate/arrive.

RAF Puma
RAF Chinook

Re: Arrivals 2022
According to (unsourced) comments around the place (can’t link, apols), Saturday was the “reserve” day for PDA. Obviously both the Belgian/French fast jets managed to validate today, so they probably won’t be around tomorrow.

Re: Arrivals 2022
If anyone does turn up today, the ladies in the cafe have asked enthusiasts not to park in the small train station car park by the bridge (presume because it’s limited and stops customers from using it!), just use the massive relief car park over the road opposite the entrance to the base (not the airfield) - oodles of space in there.

Re: Arrivals 2022
Coastguard AW189 inbound.
Re: Arrivals 2022
Absolutely dead today so far. AW189 has arrived. Historic Helis are on ADSB east of Weston SM.
The yellow/black Tutor has been pulled out of the hangar and there are people milling about so perhaps a practice is due.
