Assuming that Dark 41 landed about 11:00 as saw the initial approach from the office in Swindon?
Any sign of further activities or Hot-pitting?

Re: 7/10/2021 - Arrival thread apart 2
Next question, would anyone be able to confirm the nose art on 0136? Cheers again, Ollie. Photos now appearing on social media show it to be an outline of the state of Texas with a B-1 head on and a windsock in the colours of the Texas state flag. I thought I read "Key City Bomber" across the front...

Re: CANCELLED Royal International Air Tattoo 2021 - General Discussion Thread
I can't believe this is still going.
Maybe look up the furlough scheme, in particular, 'flexible furlough' and save any further embarrassment?

Re: NOTAM 17-9-20
So in short, can we move the U-2 movements to a protected forum such as the OTT ones? That may allay some fears relating to security in the short term, they're (strangely) in the public domain as far as I can tell. (plus keeping information to limited detail as much as possible)

Re: B52 Ops 17-9-20
Can we move this to General Chat. It has no value in a Tracking section. Its getting tiresome thinking there's movement only to see this.
Thanks.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2020 Discussion Thread
I don't get the need to wish for cancellation of the show, in March ? I'd expect the organisers, as I would glastonbury and the F1 to give as much time as possible to make the right decision, so why the haste today? No news is good news, so let's keep it that way and stop this constant nonsense of s...

Re: Viewing Guides
Just as park sensibly as possible nearby where roads, paths, farm gates etc are not obstructed, nor other vehicles. Just think whether a lorry, fire engine, tractor can get by easily and it'll be fine. It pays to drive past to see where there are gaps or logical places to park sensibly, but use your...

As it's the 75th anniversary of RAF Fairford this year, maybe a memorable flypast from a version of each of the frames which have operated from there during it's life...

It would be even more awesome if they tucked inside their drummers. They were hypnotic last year and thoroughly entertaining.

Sounds like your browser has autofill settings enabled. Normally found in settings (or just look it up for your browser - I guess Chrome?).
Either turn these off or clear cookies and cache from the browser should sort it out.

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2018 Discussion Thread
The early bird ticket prices have gone so pleased to see the updates flowing. I reckon there's over 150 planes confirmed now and more to come.
Looking like a most excellent air show. Can't wait to be part of it

Access to 09 via Marston Meysey - Road closed
Just in case anyone ventures to 09 during this deployment, I found that The Street (access from A419) through Marston Meysey is closed until the 30th May for fibre laying. I thought I could get through but the road is completely inaccessible. A detour is needed - suggest Down Ampney / Meysey Hampton...

The Hellenic F-16 is not painted with a different scheme, but maintains its original Aegean Gray Scheme, in order to demonstrate our combat readiness.

Re: Scampton Air Show
Well it's too expensive for me. £39 + £2 online fee. Didn't go. Makes me very angry that they put admission prices higher every year, knowing that the draw is the Red Arrows for the general public. Like a red rag to the general public. For us who are really interested, it's the same old thing. Same...
