Re: Arrivals Day
Hi! Just as a disclaimer, the following views are my own opinions and you'll get a lot of people slating it, but this is my interpretation! I've done arrivals twice (2017,18) and I've enjoyed both equally! The area dedicated for the arrivals area is the enclosure on the show day, so as an arrival at...

Re: PDA day date
I think it also is down to the fact the date is either rumoured or released a good few weeks prior which gives a lot of people a chance to get time off work etc. I'm going up tomorrow evening in preparation for my first PDA at the base, and hoping some roads/lanes aren't closed as the RAF Police usu...

Re: PDA day date
Yeah PDA is Tue 14th, with 15th as a backup, but looking at the weather forecast for Tue, I can’t see that being used

Re: PDA day date
A lot of people at the base are saying 3rd week of May, for Typhoon at least. I can 100% confirm to you, the Typhoon’s PDA is in May at some point, NOT April

Re: Tornado Farewell Photo shoot 25th January 2019
Just received an email about H&S. They have said everyone will be issued with yellow earplugs but that if you have better defenders you should bring them. That to me suggests flying or at least taxiing will take place. Fingers crossed

I’ve paid the £25 and submitted the form, but have not received any confirmation of both the money or form. Has anyone else had the same?

Re: Torbay Airshow
My best advice for viewing is to go onto Roundham Head. I went there last year as Typh Disp Pilot said that was his center line/datum. Better for Reds and Typhoon more than anything else but I enjoyed it up there!

Re: RAF Air crew t shirts for sale,
I’ll take the 29 Sqn shirt off you then! I’m traveling to Coningsby in exactly 2 weeks and will be there for a few days. Are you anywhere near there?

Re: RAF Air crew t shirts for sale,
I would potentially be interested in the 29 shirt... I assume it's a normal cotton shirt and not gym material?

Re: RAF Coningsby Selection
:clap: nice shots thinking of making the trek up at some point, is there a day of the week that is typically more busy than others or is it just a combination of luck and good weather? Mon-Thu is full day flying, unless something specific is occurring i.e. bank holiday etc. Fri is usually just morn...
