Flasheart, as I said, it is only my opinion and you are equally entitled to yours.
Maybe you could eloquently expand on why you think differently?

Re: Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow 2022 10th and 11th of September
I find the statement that the Duxford airshow will continue on Sunday insensitive when the nation, and world beyond, is expressing such a massive outpouring of grief following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II yesterday. The whole country is in mourning for the Queen who gave so much to our Nation...

Hi Target, firstly, this isn't a criticism of your post. If RIAT had posted the following it would probably ease some of the concern people have about what the situation is:- "We are in a fast changing situation that will probably change almost daily. RIAT is four months away. Please be patient and ...

Re: AirPower Expo at Waddington
If static/night shots aren't for you, why whine on about having to pay to go and do it? The shoot yesterday was good value, particularly compared with similar events from this and past years. Although the aircraft present included a Puma and Typhoon the emphasis was on photographing the rarer/more i...

He may well have turned back before approaching Valley but he got close!
I told my contact on base he was approaching and he commented that the weather was awful and he wouldn't be able to see him anyway!

Dragon 01 Departed Fairford to Valley and returning to Fairford presently (1048), requested R27 full stop.
He DID go a little bit West I guess but now home sweet home....

Re: Viewfinder blur d7200
Hi Supra. We've all dropped or banged our cameras at some point, unfortunately modern digital cameras are a little more prone to issues due to their reliance on electronic wizardry, composite construction and tighter tolerances.

Hi Chris, if the weather is anything like RIAT18 it will certainly be the highlight of your aviation year!...despite what "Nay sayers" go on about each year RIAT approaches, it's always a fantastic spectacle and well worth the asking price-particularly as it supports a worthwhile charity. Although y...

Re: RIAT post Mildenhall closure
Hello everybody. Reading through the pessimistic comments regarding RIAT's future after Mildenhall closure has inspired me to add my idea of what I think may occur- this is only my unbiased opinion as is everybody's. It's obvious that RAF Fairford will certainly gain some permanently based aircraft ...

Re: RIAT 2018 Awards
The comments relating to the RIAT 2018 awards are very interesting. I was confused as others were by some of the awards and felt the judges (whoever they were) had a biased opinion of some sort, I was fortunate enough to be at RIAT for seven days so saw all the displays at least once. That said, the...
