Me too

Great.

[Paulo]

Thinking of making the trip for this.

Reading NOTAMs isn't my strong point, when it says within 6nm of co-ords, does this mean within 6 nm of valley? Which then leads me to think, will I see anything?

Thanks in advance.

It means there is restricted airspace 6nm around Valley during the display. This is to keep other aircraft away from the display. A Hawk does'nt take long to travel 6 miles!

[Paulo]

Oh ok, thanks for that.

My wife and I will be there to catch the display.

Daft question, are we expecting them to operate from Valley?

They usually spend the full day there as its a reasonable hop from Scampton

[seven]

Cheers for that. Its a oh fudge of a job for me to get there from Bristol! And thats only half as far!

They normally turn up the day before for Final Simulator training - and then depart in pairs after the show - easiest way is to watch for there flight space NOTAMS as the date approaches.

[Paulo]

Well the wife and I have booked a Travelodge for this one. Only way I could get the wife to come with me!

My only problem is.... The only lense I have is a 18 - 55 ..... Birthday in april and its when I get my 300mm one hopefully. So will just have to watch and take some very wide shots lol!!

Unless anyone going has a spare canon fit bigger than 55mm they want to lend me for just half an hour??? :-)

[Paulo]

Does anyone know if this is still on?

[seven]

Its the Reds, of course it is!

Any news on this yet Steve?

[steve149c]

Nothing yet - though the NOTAM mentioned at the top of this post is still in effect.

[Paulo]

Anyone seen a reds display at Valley before?

Looking to get an idea of where best to be to get the best view...

Cheers

LOL, it's 8 days away, the met office can't predict tomorrows weather correctly, let alone that far ahead!
