I still can't believe the number of people who can't tell the difference between a Venom and Vampire!

Re: Yeovilton Air Day Arrivals 2015
Sorry there was no heads up. I just make a rare good call for once at a couple of hours notice. I knew the route to Yeovilton took the Vulcan near Kemble and that they occasionally used to carry out training practice displays at Kemble when operating from the nearby RAF base a couple of years back.techniquest wrote:You have no idea how disappointed I am to discover too late that this happened. Kemble's less than an hour's drive away and there will never be another opportunity.The Vulcan carried out Two excellent practice displays at Kemble (Cotswold) airport at approx 2:30pm this afternoon whilst en route to Yeovilton.

XH558 made the most interesting landing seen yesterday.
I don't suppose anyone has a image of the starboard u/c touching down that they'd care to share with us?

OK 7 no problem. I was probably a bit too tetchy, had been a long day.seven wrote:It was not meant to be sarcastic, my own fault as i forgot to put in the surreptitious wink at the end-the pressures of simultaneous online browsing and gamingMacclad51 wrote:Why not try a polite correction instead of a sarcastic comment!seven wrote:I still can't believe the number of people who can't tell the difference between a Venom and Vampire!

Re: Yeovilton Air Day Arrivals 2015
Viewed from Pyle Lane XH558 appeared to approach the runway from a greater angle than the cross wind component might have needed and when the starboard u/c made contact, sometime after the port,it kicked up a fair amount of debris as though it might have clipped the grass. I'm not a pilot hence the use of 'appeared' and 'might'.

Looking down a lens The Vulcan seemed to be in the correct place when it landed. It streamed the parachute which was a nice photo shot for some.
I would like to thank the Organisers for such a Magic Experience. I last saw a flying Sea Vixen at Heron in November, 50 years ago.
Only the Fleet Air Arm could have put together such a great day & active Finale. Helicopters all over the shop!
Flair (and flares) & imagination!
Well done

Refuelling at Boscombe Down, I think. Parked up there today.Bertie_Basset wrote:Don't know what the Dakota is doing but it has been circling, high, to the east of Yeovilton for the past couple of days.
Must be refuelling somewhere!

Re: Yeovilton Air Day Arrivals 2015
I have to agree with C24. I've been going to the Yeovilton shows for nigh on 40 years and missed only a very few. Although they certainly went through a poor period 6-7 years ago, they have been steadily improving ever since, and this weekend just gone was, in my view, the best for a very long time. As an avid 'number cruncher' I relaise that my preferences will be very different to those of the 'man in the street', but I think they put on an excellent show with a great variety of aircraft in both the static and flying displays. This looks like a winning formula and would certainly ensure my continued attendance in years to come.
Hopefully the organisers are monitoring this forunm and picking up the well-sererved plaudits. I did look for somehwere on the offical show web site to pass on my feedback but couldn't find anywhere suitable. Does anyone else have a contact e-mail for the organisers?
