Ah ha... "simple yet perfect". Luckily I've never been either of these !

On a beautiful summer's evening, a helicopter sight seeing flight from MHZ to NQY would probably be an amazing experience for the old boy. Really?? Quick question. Is there such a thing as Presidential NVG's as I believe the published UK Schedule is BST. & has him transiting MHZ to NQY in the dark?...

Great shots, what is the purpose of using Exeter and not St Mawgan?

In answer to your question.... "Coz' that's what Kev wanted & they agreed to his request"
I personally reckon the USMC have seen Kev's Dawlish Chinooks & wanted some decent shots too?

Fake News! He obviously let that tyre down after landing to hide the fact that he was short of fuel!
Thanks all for your informed views & allowing some lighthearted banter.

Apologies chaps! Don't do Face-ache, Insta-gran or Spick-spock. Sooo! You're telling me that the Portsmouth News was wrong in it's assertion that this incident was fuel related?? Therefore worse than dubious, in fact plain wrong! Therefore, not only did this Pilot allegedly take-of with a defective ...

According to the dubious reporting of the Pompey local paper an incident involving a USMC F-35B from the QE.Carrier resulted in a diversion to the mainland? Not seen this reported elsewhere. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/defence/f-35-believed-to-be-from-hms-queen-elizabeth-makes-an-emergency-lan...

Don't know how many 'Armed A/c' parking-spots Yeovilton has, BUT the problem with VL is that they close on time for siesta's & 'sleepies' ! There aint nothing worth staying open late, after 14:00 on Friday or God Forbid....at the weekend. Anyone remember the USN Carrier F/A-18's that had VL briefed ...

Yet again in the ever-decreasing World of Airshows we see the likes of an event that will never be equalled or repeated. Scary that it's twenty years since! Although this final iteration wasn't as fine as the previous, I fully concur that the elements on the showground (Stands, Outlets, Personnel & ...

What a shame they need boom fillers? I know where there is/was some cheap Tristars to tide them over. & maybe a couple of VC-10's?

Can it be that I'm the ONLY person on the Forum to appreciate this cancellation is sweet FA. to do with Covid19, Government Restrictions or even the financial risk to the Organisers. Nope! In fact (adopting Legalese text?) could this allegedly be more a case of an unsuitable venue in Terms of operat...

It says 'RAT' on the image ID. which I assume is short for RIAT xx (@ Fairford) Remember seeing it in those far-off days of airshows.

As this only affects Civilian overflights I assume that loaded Bomber flights would be okay?
Sadly, anything more than petty sanctions will pique Pres' Pukins' wrath & desire for peace. (Damn spellcheck! That should read 'piece' as in piece of every Country.)

Thanks for posting It looks how I feel first thing most mornings😉 There used to be one at the holiday site near RNAS Culdrose 😷. 👐🏼 🤡 🚀 Yep! That was the Flambards Theme Park & the a/c in question is XG 831 an ECM.6 variant. I say 'is' because it was donated FOC. to a new worthy home at the Davidst...

Quite!..That'll teach me not to refresh my fading memory before submitting?

Nice clear pix...but those Phenom shots are definitely akin to some Flight-Sim product? A dash too much "Art Vivid" PP. for my taste. Your pix/your choice!

Yep! You don't need a crystal ball to see where this is heading? Pandering to the whims of those that choose not to partake in the good of the UK, but remain happy to Donald Duck it up for the rest of us! All future problems with our virtually assured return to the "new normal" will be as a result o...

Not much chance of seeing this level of of content ever again.
Though, the chance of 'paying double' is highly likely !

Great shots! I thought first was pick of the bunch, until I saw the second shot....

Great surprise opportunity well taken! Just so you know & no wish to offend....but your sensor desperately needs some TLC ! I reckon I've got a shovel cleaner than that!
