Re: RIP Val Kilmer

Sad indeed, practically grew up with his movies and loved ‘em.
Especially the SNL special “Iceman, the later years” .
He went too young.

Re: Drawdown of Puma 31st March

As I’m not from around and being in Cambridge, I can see a time to get to the south of the city. How are the opportunities at Duxford from outside, preferably south of the rwy? Might Hunts road (east of dux) be an option?

Re: Stansted July 2023

Hi all,

Would Tremhall park be an option for pictures from the southside of the runway, it’s across the highway. I’m opting for arrival of the VH-3s and Departing VC and C-32…
Would that work?

Diner at various spots…

Hi All. As we are going for Riat this year, I was curious if anyone could help me out with restaurants around various fields. In Criclade, near Fairford, is the Ancient Raj still a restaurant..? They apparently had a fire in Nov 21, but I can’t find anything else about it. Facebook says they’re open...
