Sadly, I have to agree with jasonT1981. There has recently been a distinct change in the attitude towards enthusiasts, not only at Duxford, but at many other shows as well. The workload put in by all involved to get everything in place at the right time is nothing short of incredible, then having to...

So far-

ZZ390 Wildcat
ZM737 and ZM730 Apaches flying
ZK559 Chinook

Any recommendations for a first time attendee? Best place to stay? Will I need a car? Best place to watch the flying?

Andyph , what else are you expecting? We are lucky we get any shows at all! Okay, it isn’t the razzmatazz of RIAT, or the aircraft attendance of other shows, but this is a show based around future recruitment! Us old git spotters and photographers should be happy that it hasn’t all gone via Teams or...

And the NAF A330 reg?

Anyone have the Chinook reg?

Is it just me or are the aircraft announcements slower than in previous years? I’m sure we have normally had a couple of display teams (excluding the Reds), by now?
I’m not moaning, there are going to be some very nice rotary bits attending, just seems slow.

Are these c130’s outside and viewable?

Hi,

By any chance you don't have St Mawgan 1985 Air Day program?

Droptank, Whilst I agree with 90% of what you say, my opinion of RIAT 2019 isn't as rosy! The commentary that Ben Dunnell supplies is bland, scripted and pointless, at least Mark Mainwaring has real experience and stories from his service life. In all honesty, I think that having commentary for the ...

Thanks

Hi guys,

Do any of you have a 1985 Air Day Program for the St.Mawgan show that they would like to sell.......or........do you know where it would be possible to get one?

Any help with this would really be appreciated as it is for a birthday present.

I agree with everything said about the show, it was my first Cosford airshow and I was very, very impressed. The organisers did a fantastic effort to get as many RAF aircraft together from the last 100 years, and the way the static was laid out was brilliant. I thought the flying displays were varie...

Hi,
Anyone know where I can get a log of all the aircraft at the show on the Sunday? Including the GA, visitors and display items.

Over the last couple of weeks, there has been a massive increase in helicopter activity after dark at Upavon. They have not been squawking on any of the commercially available 'radars', and they are always locked in the hangars during the day.

Any information on what these are?

Ah, thought I was the only person who was a cloud magnet!

Hi, I'm new to FC so I thought it was time to say hello from sunny Wiltshire! Being just North of Andover means I am within easy reach of DM, VP, VA , DY and VN. ( Boscombe Down, Middle Wallop, Fairford, Yeovilton and Brize Norton) Ideally on here to get info about what's around, what's due, open da...
