non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Obviously FRIAT members would be most welcome too but would any UKARians be interested in meeting up on the Saturday of RIAT to discuss our mutual love for all things loud and pointy?
As much as I'd like to I cannot 'do' a FRIAT membership in anyway which would be worthwhile or justifiable financially. I know there's a lot of you who do but I can't be the only one who goes just for one day.
Can I?
Anyway I know it's a way off but we could for example meet by the Jet Provost (there's always one ) at 6. Or something like that. It's always nice to put a face to the online monikers
Cheers, Chris

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Members of the modelling community tend/try to meet up at about 9 on the Saturday morning at the Wonderland Models stall. Usually quite central (close to the middle and 5 minutes walk from the blue entrance) and spottable with the blue and yellow tent. There's the possibility of linking the 2 meet-ups.

Anyone still interested? I'm not a nutter...

After last year are you sure you'll still be on the show ground at 1800.....? The fun police will almost certainly be shooing you out!

I was going to say I'll see you there, but after your post Luke . . .
Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Happy to put faces to names - I will be toting a blue back pack and wearing a faded frecce tricollori cap. Any final decisions on place and time?

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
So how are you planning on recognising each other ?
Will it be pink carnation button-holes ( white sports coat optional ) ?.....or carrying a copy of 'Flight' magazine ?....or having one trouser-leg rolled up ?

My brother describes me to others as "the tallest dwarf in the world" - ID should not be a problem.
I thought we were all going to pay our respects to the static JP?

Wonderland at 9 it is.

Wonderland models were not in the usual place today. I will be in front of the Greek Phantoms at 9. They are at the centre of the showground next to 3 eagles and in front of the KC-135 and close to the blue gate.

Greek phantoms it is. See you tomorrow

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Well here we are, getting on for a year since the frankly underwhelming success of last year's meet up (no offence Iain and Tommy). Anyone fancy meeting up this year? Greek Phantom at 930 on the Sunday for example?

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Sounds good to me, just hope they a) arrive and b) are not parked at one end of the display line but take centre place as they should.

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
1. Will there be copious numbers of good looking groupee women for staffers that attend this meet up?
2. Will there be beer?
3. Will there be ice cream?
Am I being too fussy?

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Andy I will gladly buy you one of those cider flavoured lollipops. As for the groupies, you'll just have to ask Tommy what I laid on (hoho) last year.

Re: non FRIAT RIAT meet up?
Are you sure Chris will know which end is which and be facing the right way?
Similarly will he know which way to face when it comes to the airfield?

Possibly not, do turn me around if you see me facing the wrong way won't you?
