Re: FRIAT 2020
in 18 it didn't matter what it tasted like as it was boiling coming out of the bowsers haha
Re: FRIAT 2020
Thanks for the tip. We'll bring something to take the edge off the taste and try to hold off the beers until 4.
Re: FRIAT 2020
Any bowsers we found had run dry by lunch time. First aid tent helped out by refilling our bottles.rockfordstone wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:33 pmin 18 it didn't matter what it tasted like as it was boiling coming out of the bowsers haha

Re: FRIAT 2020
I do, it was stupidly hot on the Saturday and most of the places that sold cold drinks had sold out by mid afternoon. We headed to Lyneham to catch a visiting C-130 but stopped at a pub by a river on the way, drank gallons of cold lager and didn't go any further that day - I think we all slept in the car that night!

That would be 64-17967, but could also be 61-7967 (as it was ordered in 1961) !

Two themes for 2020; Fast Jet Combat Air Power and Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR).
We are hopeful the UK F-35B Lightning and new RAF P-8A Poseidon will appear at this summer's Air Tattoo
