Well Done , and a huge thank you for keeping this iconic publication going , which I have bought since the first one.
Every year I fear it will go to the awful on-line format so many have gone , and for me, make it un-readable.
Give me a book anyday !!
Cheers

Re: Masters of the Air - USAF Mighty 8th in East Anglia
Well, I have watched the first two episodes,and found them thoroughly entertaining !! But , then again, I am just an aviation enthusiast / photographer , and not an `Armchair expert` , like some people ,and don`t feel the need to criticise everything that doesn`t meet some exacting standards. I thin...

Re: Visiting Fairford 27th May
Hello all,
Just wondering if the B-1`s are visible / photographable, from walking the perimeter fence from the Dunfield crash gate to the 09 end crash gate ?
I have never done this walk, but understand it is quite interesting.
I would be looking at visiting on Saturday.
Many Thanks

Don`t rise to the bait , no doubt some `stop oil` saddo, fishing for a reaction.

Re: King’s Coronation Flypast Info 25th - 27th April & 6th May 2023
Hi All, Does anybody know if the Asda car park at Leyton Mills ( E10 5NH ), would give a reasonable view of the flypast ? The reason I ask is, my wife cannot be left at home alone, and her mobility problems mean I would have to drive, not use public transport. I live in Uxbridge , Middx. Many thanks...

Re: Queens birthday Flypast
Thanks Supra for your sarcastic comment.
That`s the problem with these forums - a comment that does not meet some persons criteria is met with abuse.
Hence why in over 10 years , I have only posted 76 times, and probably will not again.

Re: Queens birthday Flypast
I was on Waterloo Bridge for the 100th. , but found the aircraft were a bit `over the top` of me.
Thinking of Blackfriers Bridge this time , as it seems a little more to one side of the flight track , assuming they fly straight up The Mall.

Thanks very much for all your info / advice.
Sounds like I would have been dissapointed.
Probably Fairford instead.

Anything with a bit of colour gets my vote .
I look at my slides from the 70`s and 80`s , with sorrow that everything is now a grey blob.
As for Tiger schemes -- the best colours ever put on a military jet !! - In my opinion

As the day went on more cars arrived and parked on the verges to the left and right of the entrance. Everybody was sensible, and tucked the cars well off the road. Many police patr...
