Reds not doing full display at Farnborough - Flypasts only.

[Nighthawke]

A singleton has far less risk. Quick lesson here - risk = probability x damage (or loss depending on what is being assessed).

That is a simplistic starting point - the risk for the Red Arrows is not just 9 times more than a single aircraft. There are many more factors to be taken into account by those assessing the risk. That is where the expertise comes in and I would suggest that they are more qualified than many of us.

Arguments can to and fro until the proverbial cows come home, but it won't change things.

Enjoy what you can while you can

Saw a funny pic on Tony Stevenson's Farnborough face book page

Apparently the Reds are permitted to do formation taxying up and down the runway

Moving the show to another site is all very well, but I think Farnborough themselves will be a little sad, having just spent millions of pounds on a state of the art exhibition set up.

Blue sky thinking; we all know in reality the exhibition set up dictates that it would be impractical to move elsewhere.

Exactly, I think its more likely that this particular event will move as it is now possible to absorb the loss by having other events at the site. Let's face it up until quite recently the airshow was the only thing there & now they have other regular shows. Admittedly it would be a big loss but not a total loss to the local economy.

Yes and I don't suppose TAG are that keen on the show as it must be quite disruptive to the biz movements.

Let alone all the disruption it causes to those who live in that area with traffic diversions (speaking from experience). TAG are a minor problem.

To be honest living in Farnborough myself & talking to the locals the traffic issues are mostly in normal rush hour periods & the majority of people don't actually mind the disruption once every two years as 1 person put it we get a free airshow in return,or did until now. P S just wondering if the red arrows display at Cosford passed over the village/town that is to the south of the airfield. Looks like the Typhoon could of been close as well!! What no risk of coming down there!!
