Just over Swansea

Thanks

[Harv94]

On the RIAT website, a lot of things just have a question mark about Friday display whereas others show a cross. Does that mean they may be added to the Friday list?

[DAVEBRAD]

just seen BRS41 KC-390 FAB2857 Land at Farnborough about 1400. could be downloading some VIP's. as its not due till 1847?but at least its in this country...

Royal Navy Merlin now cancelled.

[James Cutting]

That's been cancelled for a good few weeks.

Not the HC4, the HM2.

Anyone know what "role" the Austrian Shorts Skyvan OE-FDN is playing? It's been making patterns all over the Ox/Gl area for most of the day and as I type appears to be "escorting" GAF931 around Stow in the Wold.

It's linking up with the arrivals doing air to air, chance be a fine thing.

It flew a Validation flight at Farnborough with a Embraer flight crew ,then landed again before the Brazilian Af crew take it to Riat.
Edit ,recently arrived Fairford

Any update at all on the A-4 and the E-4? Both things I was looking forward to, though with healthy scepticism!

[POL]

So ignoring the bits that we know are coming tomorrow, this is what we're missing

What an absolutely awesome arrivals day today much better than yesterday

[Red-Eye-Knight]

From what people on the base were saying today the A-4 is due tomorrow and practically everyone expects a no show from the E-4B!!!

BBMF should arrive tomorrow fingers crossed, From the list you provided I am only going to miss about 7 or 8 of them the rest I could not care about, Just my opinion though before I get my head blown off lol

[Ferrari]

The Lancaster is due to do a fly past at Breighton (East Yorkshire ) on Saturday lunchtime. No idea if that’s on the way to RIAT or from/to RIAT.

[pete310183]

Probably neither, they tend to operate from Fairford for the weekend, reds do the same for any other displays they have that weekend

[Charlie9833]

hello, i have a question regarding park and view, i have 4 adult tickets and i’m unsure whether i needed a child’s ticket or not to bring my younger in. currently i don’t so i might be in a spot of bother

[DEREK SMITH]

Go into your account and add a kiddies pass and print it off

[Charlie9833]

Go into your account and add a kiddies pass and print it off

do you know if there’s any left, also im unsure how

[Campbell89]

Is the NATO E-3 Sentry still doing a a flypast tomorrow? Can’t see it on the sheet of lies.
