This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
Well, it's been so successful the past 2 years I've tried it - once, 2 people actually came and everything (thanks Tommy and Iain, it remains one of my life highlights ) - I thought it would be good to go for another RIAT UKAR meet up.
Now I have nothing against all you FRAITers (why would I - a week at RIAT, a cracking view, loos with pot plants outside the door - nothing to like there...) but we can't all do that, so if anyone, FRIAT or 'unwashed' (again, thanks Tommy) fancies meeting up to say hi this year, I'll be going to Saturday's show.
Under the nose of the BONE at 9 perhaps?
Not if you're one of the scary folk who doesn't like me though. You know who you are...
See you in July, and please remember your apostrophes.

I'll keep a safe distance and if you all seem like a tolerable bunch I'll come and say hi.

This is the correct answer.
Re: This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
I'll come along, even though I have washed this year and so will be allowed into FRIAT (hopefully), perhaps whichever of us gets there first can ask the crew what day they are leaving, since everyone doing departures will be .

Re: This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
The modelling fraternity amongst us (Fumbles and me so far!) have agreed Wonderland models at 9 on Saturday. However I'm happy to change and will pm Rod (Fumbles). Not sure the B-1 is the best place as it's likely to be at the Green end of the field and somewhere central would be better.

Re: This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
I attended a couple of RIAT meet ups in the early days of UKAR, but I don't think that many of the folks from those days are still active on here. There was a chap from Brazil who styled himself F6F, and another from Belgium known as 'Poopsie' if I remember correctly. Wonder what happened to them? I myself don't 'do' RIAT anymore.

Unless they stick it near the Blue entrance again.
I'm looking forward to seeing the UKAR flashmob descending on the B-1 and annoying the photographers

Is everyone going to wear something to make them easily identifiable.....such as t-shirts emblazoned with "Meh!! Not a patch on the old IATs" ?

Stop being difficult (although I know it's in your DNA!).
My final suggestion - Wonderland Models on Saturday at 9. I'll be wearing either a faded Fecce Tricolori cap or the dayglo orange Rafale one given out at Sanicole.

...Immediately does Google search for 'design your own T-shirt'.

Looks like Brevet won't be there with his exploding beer bottles so it should be.

Re: This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
On Friday I will find out where Wonderland are and try to post the location that evening.

Re: This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
Would certainly be nice to meet a few people, I'll keep an eye on this and pop down!
Re: This Year's RIAT UKAR meetup...
I'm sure I can tear myself away for a bit and come and say hello, too.
