Well unfortunately, I'll health has curtailed my visit to riat this year, just had to cancel 6 days caravaning 😭, but loved ones come first. I may travel up to see the Friday show as we have tickets, but depends on how the wife feels... Does anyone know if any of the streaming channels will be cover...

Soooo... It's getting closer now, what are everyones plans this year? I am arriving on Wens and doing my usual stay at the caravan and motor home field, near the fuel storage area. Going in on the Friday, this year though, going into the disabled viewing area as wife is not well, so that's a new on...

Feel sorry for Friday visitors, not seeing not only Typhoon but the F-35B as well, going to leave the general public very sour. I only ever do Friday nowadays, but we stay in the caravan club site and see all the display aircraft from there, no good for helicopters though, but we stay there from We...

I did, and looked at the tracking data kindly put up, but still can't see if one did wake up west Wales... I can see Cornwall, Exeter and Valley mentioned of course.... Just asking, that's all

I have a few locals on facebook saying that a big noisy aircraft woke them last night about 1115 pm, with someone saying it was a bone? I live right on the West Wales coast, Milford Haven way... Would one have worked or tracked this way last night?

Both cancelled, but a nice little museum if your ever in the area

Anyone way down west, there is a planned (weather and operational commitments dependant) fly past of a Mildenhall KC135 and a Valley Hawk at the Carew Cheriton control tower museum today, timed for 1330. This is to commemorate the allied forces based there during WW2 and was postponed from last month.

I had my scanner on from about 8.30 to 10.30 ish? Wasn't aware of any breakthrough on those 2 freqs.... I did notice follow me 8 had radio issues a few times though!

How good was it to see Tonkas again

Oooh I feel quite moist... That Harrier landing came in right over my caravan!... Made my week

Gripen E just scrubbed due to wind

Doubt it due too wind, the spainish display team seem OK at the minute.

Yes, I was surprised, but the commentary definitely said the wind was too much for the display parameters.

Commentary just said 15mins from the shell garage on the Fairford to Lechlade Rd, into the show so not too bad?

Took the decision not to go in today. I'm not a photographer so didn't fancy walking around in this monsoon. The Mrs likes the craft and vintage tents, but didn't fancy the trek from the car park to the show. We have watched it all from the caravan in the warm and dry

Yes, Gripen E... Really good over my caravan

Chucking it down here right now

Yes, they should re name this year's show Gripen fest 23

Sorry, just seen this thread, but for what it's worth, this is what I do.... We take our caravan every year, done it for the last 15 or so years now I'd guess, to the caravan and motor home club rally. We go Wens to Monday, 1 day in the show, the rest just in the caravan field where the display airc...

Was this the same aircraft that was in storage at Swansea airport for a few years? I do remember seeing a Vixen there, as Supra mentioned, in the red/Yellow scheme . It was an open day or something (long tome ago!) and I remember being told by a guy who worked there that they were hoping to restore ...
