Some more from Saturday's show. Unfortunately the weather was far from ideal for most of the day https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4291/36030143605_bef9c28ac3_h.jpg IMG_4229 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4297/35219696703_022f35a56a_h.jpg IMG_4354 by Daniel Lewington , o...

I can see the video perfectly okay. It is for sure that photographers (and it's not just one or two) will always take advantage and swarm into places they're not supposed to, whether it's a fire lane or disabled area, etc. The only way to stop it is to have a member of RIAT staff permanently at any...

The police's approach to policing RIAT baffles me. I was stopped a good few miles (5+) from the base on local back roads at a 'checkpoint' and turned back because I didn't have a VIP car pass. When I said I was a local just using local roads and nothing to do with the air show (technically true!) t...

Some shots from Friday from inside the showground https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4293/35842484472_14624de977_h.jpg IMG_2328 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4300/35842478322_68f12facf8_h.jpg IMG_2449 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4312/35...

A few more from Thursday arrivals https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4298/36004774885_621cf8d5b7_h.jpg IMG_9638 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4329/35614901850_bd3ca8d07f_h.jpg IMG_9827 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4305/35833170272_b67b04...

It was all just a thought, apologies if it was too deep! I just can't see how when Fairford has several hundred personnel living in the dorms and base housing, along with several USAF and RAF RC-135s flying in and out 24/7, that the base facilities or security requirements lend themselves to hostin...

I overheard one of the B_52 crew talking to a RIAT staffer about a B-2 flypast on Sunday. I thought I had misheard so asked him directly and he confirmed a B-2 flypast for Sunday (but not Saturday). Why he should know, I have no idea. Only time will tell if this turns out to be true - I'm just repo...

Lovely shots and thanks for sharing. Some of us cannot get there this year, so shots like these are appreciated. Looks like the red circle sticky back plastic has blown off the Alca during transit! Thanks! Re the Alca: Apparently it gets reapplied on the ground at each show. Assume there are issues...

Great day at RIAT today. A small selection from Wednesday's arrivals https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4312/35498008510_d962c7b468_h.jpg IMG_6143 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4218/35497981170_4d09491cc7_h.jpg IMG_6213 by Daniel Lewington , on Flickr https://farm5.stati...

I would imagine because the Friday programme was set in stone long before the Ukrainians confirmed. They aren't going to go and tell a confirmed pilot that he/she is being dropped from the display because someone else is more exciting it wouldn't be fair! Just a theory, not based on any inside info...

Stopping of what? Cars? People?
