RIAT Arrivals… LIVE! 2022

Post by Tommy »

Dear UKARians,

It’s back!

We know what it's like being stuck at work counting down the hours until the weekend, and we do all we can to help those hours go by that little bit faster. Sam and others will be providing UKAR's usual coverage on Twitter, and I will once again post live photos in this thread as aircraft arrive. Various other UKAR staffers are working hard to ensure that we give the best coverage we can. Once again, many thanks to Dan Butcher for the behind the scenes work.

We have also brought back our Twitter widget, with relevant RIAT arrivals social media accounts hand-picked and filtered just for you. The widget will auto-refresh, so you can keep it open all day and watch the updates roll through in addition to this thread and a useful page to keep an eye on whilst the boss isn’t looking!

In addition, PlanesTV will be live streaming the arrivals, so there’s plenty of places to go to get in the mood for RIAT!

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the build up to the Royal International Air Tattoo.

Tom

First static participant - looks like they’ve towed a (clean) U-2 across the airfield. I’ll try and get a shot once they let us in.

Words cannot describe how happy I am to see this thread open.

I'm sure I speak for everyone, Tommy thank you so much for showing us what is coming in as I can't make it to the arrivals.

Wishing you a fantastic day, and thank you for the effort!

Lot of RAF stuff due in first. Airfield isn’t open until 8.00 Zulu which I think means 9.00am BST.

U-2, and plastic Tempest and plastic Chinook on static.

Gutted I can't make the show this year. I came to the conclusion that my other half wouldn't appreciate being dragged around Fairford on her 30th birthday!

Luckily the bosses are out of the office this week so I can keep this page open and no quick minimising is needed!!

Thanks for updates Tommy

I feel for you, granddaughter is getting confirmed on Sunday so that stopped me from attending to much travelling to do the Saturday and be ready for Sunday.

Bit of a quiet period now.

Frustrating to see the H175M not sent around to the west end despite the apparent lack of activity, but there we are.

Jordanians are soon to join.
