Re: Forum slow 19-04-2024

Looks as though UKAR's site is also lagging similar to FC as well, could be something similar

A late look back on 5 days of RIAT 2023

First time doing 5 days there (Thurs-Mon), and some days were a washout, some were a bit sunny (at least not as hot as 2022!!) and with just under 3 months to g...

Re: Royal International Air Tattoo 2024 General Discussion Thread

Seems a secondary commemorative German Tornado IDS has been painted, from the WTD61 - Who are due to appear at RIAT.

Re: Catering

I honestly didn't think the stalls we tried were that bad...mind you, I was in FRIAT but did have a couple of bits from other vans. Then again I've eaten from literal ration packs so swings and roundabouts :lol:

Re: Catering

The cost while yes extortionate is understandable. At least it’s been levelled across the field now, the prices. Everything these days is extremely more expensive. Vans have to pay fees, source ingredients, run their cooking equipment pay their staff, and actually take a bit of profit out of it. Yet...

That's good, nice to see 2 schemed jets in circuit but I did think last year was to be the last year for it

Re: 2024 Typhoon Display Jet

Looks excellent, done a great job! Never saw the previous camo jet, so this is nice :)

Is ZJ914 being backup for the season?

Re: Catering

I believe they are still the same. There was plenty of variety throughout the showground, yes lots of exotic foods, and a good amount of places to get bacon butties from.

Certainly brings the results of a number of previous sessions over the years into question if today's interpretation of the rules had been applied. Quite a farce of a day in China so far :lol:

Re: Headsup posts are becoming to cryptic

Google doesn't help you when all you can put in, is a random callsign. Believe it or not - Google doesn't resolve everything. :)

A possible suggestion with head-up titles would be the callsign and aircraft if known.
