The wind is above the Gripen E's current limits for displaying. Every aircraft is different on its limits, you can't compare one against another

I am travelling with a large suitcase (check-in luggage) andI will only be in the area for the day. Would it be possible to take this onto the Swindon shuttle bus, through the security check, and store it a the public left luggage facility? I tried to reach out to RIAT, but I am getting contradictory answers to this. Was anyone at the show today and did see a security queue for large bags?

Blue sky with the occasional bit of spit and it is warm.

Just watching on tbe TedConningsby Stream the Finnish F18 mega impressive as usual!

[Mike]

Have Ted Coningsby been given permission to livestream, I thought that only Planes TV were allowed to do this?

[Tally-ho]

There is a choice of 'live streaming', on YouTube Macc Aviation is one option, free no payment ..

I thought it was dodgy, and sure enough he’s just been ordered to stop filming!

F35/Harrier are a really cool combo.

[Mike]

Yep, what a silly boy for attempting it.
Macc Aviation is outside with vehicles constantly passing in front of the camera and it's difficult to understand what he's saying with all the traffic noise etc.

[Red-Eye-Knight]

The F-35 didn't hover long compared to the Harrier still nice to see them fly side by side

Better than nothing - and free of charge!

Video’s been pulled entirely off YouTube. Unwise indeed!

Rafale display unbelievably good - now let's see the Gripen.

F35 was totally outclassed by the Harrier, f35 was wobbling and hardly stood still, harrier was rock steady and the climb out of the Harrier as always been a super feature of the swivel nozzles.

Weather nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The Rafale display pilot made great use of the crosswind during the high alpha component, seemingly coming to almost a standstill over the sheds. Outstanding stuff

Haha!! Yup the F35 wussed out!

A 7 jet Reds display really looks odd and very misshapen.

[c4meron]

Why 7? Missed the reason

[James Cutting]

Pilot had a bad neck I believe
