Red Arrows
On an ordinary news site they displayed all this year's Red Arrows events, but Fairford was not listed. Was this just a mistake on their part?

Re: RIAT Departures 22-July-2024 (Very Pic Heavy!)

Somerset Aerofest July 29th - 30th
Somerset Aerofast a small show held at Middlezoy Airfield, Somerset. Because of the lack of a Yeovilton Airday this year Navy Wings are working with the organisers of the Somerset Airfest to have a presence at this event both static and hopefully flying. As well as this event they normally hold a WW...

Re: Air Day 2023
I am surprised with obviously the expert staff that AHA had that somebody within the firm hasn't taking up the mantle and started a new business of their own running events hopefully to include future airshows.

Re: Wildcats over M5 Bridgwater, Fri 7th October
Don't know any of the numbers, but I live on the edge of Bridgwater not that far from the M5 and we often get Wildcats flying over. Some really high but others a little bit lower.
Such a frequent sight I never take much notice of them.

Re: Hanging Out in Aldeburgh
Nice set of shots, I like most of them apart from the single boat shot. Too much sky for my liking, would have preferred shot from a lower angle and the boat being more of a main subject (my opinion only).

Re: The Ukraine Situation
Isn't strange in 1939 we waged war against a far-right Nazi power and with the help of our Russian allies we overcame them in 1945. How the tables have turned we are now supporting a far-right governed country with learnings towards Nazism fighting against our old allies who helped us stamp out Nazi...
