Picked up Tornado by John Nickol at a charity book stall at Leigh Delamare services! £2 - bargain!

Re: Japan Airshows 2023

Going to get a rehearsal on Saturday, and display on Sunday!

Only taking a small camera so don't expect to get any decent pics, but I'll try!

Re: Japan Airshows 2023

I am going to the Japanese Grand Prix in September, apparently the Blue Impulse team are displaying?

Kawasaki T-4, look very similar to the Aermacchi T339 used by Frecce?

Do they do a good display?

Re: FRIAT - what is it and is it worth it?

I was thinking Standard Plus.

Also, I assume coming by shuttle bus from Swindon is an option Fri/Sat/Sun? - I know it would be by car and park on the other days.

Re: FRIAT - what is it and is it worth it?

I'm considering doing FRIAT next year, probably Thursday, Saturday or Sunday, and Monday. I assume the price for 6 days includes admission as well as the seat and other facilities? Or is FRIAT additional to admission. Part of my theory is that if the weather looks rubbish on Saturday, at least I can...

Re: Park & View West

Slightly confused when I approached the turn to Marston Maysey, no sign pointing to P&V West, so I drove on thinking they had changed the route. Got to Kempsford, saw a sign for P&V West pointing back the way I had come! Quick 3-pointer, back down the road, saw a sign for P&V West at the MM turn.......

Park and view west is on the road between Whelford and Kempsford
Surely that is P&V EAST? That is the road I entered by on Thursday.

West is the other end of the runway?

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

I used the Swindon shuttle yesterday, parked in Swindon, had to take a rather circuitous route to get to the bus station because of the big hole in Swindon. The queue for the bus was long, but moved quite well. Bus took about 40 mins, saw big queues as we approached the Yellow entrance, but it was ...

Park & View West

Probably going to do P&V West on Monday, only done it once before (in 2017). Got some decent shots so thought I would try again. I can't remember how to get there, and if it is concrete or grass parking! I assume you turn off at the Marston Massey junction then take a right fork to P&V?? or is it fu...

I didn't use cash on Thursday or Saturday last year, didn't have a problem.

You are so bourgeois, what’s wrong with you eating pie, mash, peas and gravy with your hands??!?

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2023 General Discussion Thread

Suppose it means more moisture in the air and more fluffy shots :D 2019 weather was alright. From what I remember, 2019 was a washout on Saturday! An A400 did a few mild circuits, and a Spanish Harrier created a nice cloud of spray on the runway - that was it!!!! Just looking back on the photos it ...
