Re: Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre
She's been butchered I'm afraid, several sections taken by road to South Wales Aviation Museum. Murder most Horrid for what was a beautiful, graceful aircraft.

Re: RIAT (wet) Friday
Oh to have been there, well done on such a wonderful shot and for being brave enough to risk wrecking your camera. (I had a fall into the sea last year and wrote my camera off, so am now purely a 'fair weather' photographer!)

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread
It's such a shame, the dratted British weather strikes again. Bought Friday and Saturday tickets plus mobility scooter hire for both days, but at the mo we are sat eating ice creams in a lovely warm and dry Ice Cream Parlour in Cirencester instead and already thinking of next year's event.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread
What do you deem as 'very early arrival' please? Pre opening of the P+V or will we have had chance for a warming brew before it comes in?

Parking at 27
The police have moved all vehicles that were parked up out the way on the grass/footpath along the main road, with advice that 'Gloucester constabulary' will be issuing tickets to anyone who parks there. Also, we heard a quarry lorry driver complain to the officer about the vehicles parked down the ...

Re: BT landline to go by 2025
At the risk of appearing totally stupid, I have no 'technical' idea or grasp of how things work. We have zero mobile phone coverage at home and rely solely on our landline for connection to everyone,. This is the first I've heard about BT landline service being withdrawn and am somewhat concerned.

Spectacles found
Silver coloured metal rimmed spectacles found by the fence in the viewing enclosure carpark this morning (Tuesday 1st Feb) just before the B1 flyby. Have hung them on the fence by 8th post down. If anyone has lost them, at the moment they look intact.
