Re: Cosford Air Show 2024

Totally agree...the problem is actually getting to European airshows on the day by public transport even taxis are reluctant to go as would be stuck in traffic.
Anyone any ideas they use, car hire is out for me.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

That's a pity you cannot do FRIAT with your Dad as you both would have loved it but still Sunday showday and Departures will be awesome if the weather plays nice. Best tip I can give for grandstand is don't get up out your seat when something is flying as people will moan about you being in the way...

Re: ILA 2024

So I'm planning to go this year and will stay at an airport hotel very near terminal.
Did they do a shuttle bus from terminal and back to show last time ?

Re: ILA 2024

Was the static as well laid out and as easy to photograph as previous years ?
I always found it excellent as opposed to the Paris a/s.

Re: ILA 2024

I totally agree it has been a very good show 'in the past' especially for photography.
However I'm hearing that the last one was not a patch on the previous shows so I am reluctant to plan a visit without and 'good' reports.

ILA 2024

I missed the last ILA due to it not looking too good with less static compared to previous years due to the 'new' airports increased movements.
Anyone went ?...and was it worth it ?
Incidentally I note the ILA site doesn't state a show venue at present.

Dubai air show

Haven't been to this since it moved to it's new venue at DWC. I would arrive at DXB so would probably stay near and travel to show daily.. Any information on how easy it is to get to the show and any info on hotels for easier access to show. Last visit it was a nightmare leaving the show with massiv...

Have they changed it this year? I came from Lechlade, down the red route and ended up in the blue car park. Was there a queue for the red or did I drive straight past?
I'm guessing you drove straight past.....easily done especially in the rain today.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

Bit off topic but don't want to add another 'thread' needlessly.
What was security like this morning with the no bags / hand luggage etc procedure although I'd expect it was quiet with the weather forecast.
