Cheers guys!
I'm going on Sunday but will probably take chairs, etc., but leave in the car 'just in case.'
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

RIAT Disabled Enclosure
I have tickets for the above enclosure and was just wondering if someone had any experience of this enclosure and could answer a query? I'm fairly confident that facilities included tables and chairs in the information before I booked but an email that I have received from RIAT carried a photograph ...

Re: Weston Air Festival 2017- 17th & 18th June
Very enjoyable day in Weston yesterday. I parked on the beach so was caught out by being sent South of the action. I presume the 'Post Shoreham' measure is well intended but there were innumerable numbers of people that I observed failing to be able to push wheelchairs and pushchairs through soft sa...

Re: Aviation Books to read
Finally read 'A Higher Call' then 'Wings on my Sleeve' and can gladly state that they are both excellent reads especially if read in that order.

Re: Aviation Enthusiast....Military or Civil???
I spring into action whenever I hear a Chinook or Hercules. Spitfire or Hurricane has an even more dramatic effect. I do quite like watching the Emirates A380 fly over once a day too. There simply aren't the amount of US aircraft or variety these days. I can remember fishing with my Dad in the late ...

Re: The whole chair, fence, chain issue
I've seen several tents taken down on the Red Section. When you consider that the sign informing people to not erect structures is probably 5-6 metres away from the fence, I never witnessed a disagreement either!
Give an inch and take a mile.

Re: Muhammad Ali has passed away aged 74
One of my Dad's favourite sportsmen. I suppose I inherited his love for boxing by way of his infectious anticipation of an Ali fight. One of my favourite Ali interviews was his demonstrating the speed of his 'right.' Standing still, he turns to camera and says, "Do you want to see it again?" Pure cl...

Re: The who;e chair, fence, chain issue
The only time I have suffered from 'encroachment' was at Yeovilton last year. I wouldn't mind but I was quite a distance from the fence. We had deliberately set up quite a bit back to give us some room (we were also handily near the toilets, ice cream, etc. Almost unbelievably I actually had someone...

I thought that the ruling was that people were not supposed to leave bags/chairs etc due to security concerns?

Re: ISS visible passes - ongoing thread
There have been some quite bright, long impressive passes (six minute) over the past few nights and will be doing another three tonight. First one at 2321hrs for me in the Midlands.
