It's 6.38 and we're through security already.
They're doing security first and then holding us for tickets. Brilliant set up. We've got access to toilets, merch, and coffee, and no queueibg

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread
Just to add my thoughts on entry. We arrived in the blue car park at around 7am. We didn't get in until 9am. Queue was incredibly slow, they were doing 100% bag checks.

Re: Radio or App ?
I started using 360Radar a couple of weeks ago. Definitely worth it.

Re: Flying across Britain with Arthur Williams
Brilliant series, loved it. Especially seeing our familiar East Anglian sights in a different way.
Arthur is a natural presenter. That enthusiasm is so infectious. His program on the Mosquito was really good too

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Hi all. I've been registered here a while but never posted. I've been reading mainly for RIAT and Duxford news before I signed up. After treating myself to a new lens and spending the morning at Lakenheath and Mildenhall I thought I'd say hi.
