What a shame that - out of thousands of spotters visiting RIAT 2023 - not anybody found it necessary so far to share his own complete logs instead of simply relying on others people work. :'( ... Well, I was one of those until today, as I finished my own homework just now ;-))) :clap: FAIRFORD WEDNE...

No Metar so airfield may be closed but local forecast says NE winds of 3-6kts from 13:00bst

Thanks a lot. Making holidays in the area, I will give it a try for some landing shots. Any inbound call highly appreciated.

Any word about runway in use so far?

Photo proof shows all codes identical to that previously posted. They are relocating to Fairford on 13th July and back to Boscombe 18th July so previous rumours were incorrect. The planned Indian A F helicopters have cancelled so no C.17's into Boscombe. Thanks a lot. Great info. Thanks for sharing...

another question: I heard that during the Monday after RIAT, a number of aircraft usually pass through the Mach Loop before heading back home. Is this true or just a rumour or wishful thinking of some?

Thank a lot, mates! The Sea King looked like fully operational and still had its code M applied.

Three so far unidentified Merlins arrived 12.10 hrs

Hello, I am considering visiting RAF Valley next week. Looking at what is shown in adsb, they only fly with a maximum of six Hawk per day. Is it possible that only a small part of based aircraft flying are shown on adsb? or are they really flying that poor, possibly due to summer holidays of some ba...
