The above events are not open to the public and strictly are private events, all information provided is so anyone in the local community of an RAF station holding an event or anyone who has interest in aviation knows that their is an event taking place. RAF police has a right to move any observers that seem to pose a threat towards security and safety of the station itself, but are normally welcoming towards the public. . finally I am not responsible for any participants not turning up to an event or extra participants arriving that are not listed, also for any event cancellations.

If you have any information regarding any RAF families days or Participants for any of the events please post here or send a PM,

Thanks Cott09

The F-35 will not be crossing the Atlantic now since missing RIAT and Farnborough. Unless there is a different reason why they will be bringing them over here that no one knows about?

I'm on the hunt for a Scampton schedule if anyone can help.

That all for this years thread.

Thank you all for following and for all your help and information through out the season, apologise information was not as in depth to previous year but commitments and getting older means less time, next year is a very busy year for me as I will be getting married in July but I plan to return with a 2015 thread in a few months time.

Hope to have you back then.

Kind regards,
Cott09

Thanks for all the hard work through the year the information really helps. best wishes for next year.

Regards.

Mike.
