why can navy send anything to cosford
Re: Air Day 2016
The only reason they're sending so much to Yeovilton is because it's a Navy show! However, Cosford is an RAF show!ndam356 wrote:why can navy send anything to cosford

Re: Air Day 2016
Us old fogies can remember the days when 24+ Wessex 5's were in the Junglie assault, and we bemoaned the day when the SK4's arrived and numbers dropped to 18 or so, even if sometimes bolstered by a Chinook or two.
And Mick would arrange for the R27 helicopter flight-line to be walked down in the evening of the spotters day.

Re: Air Day 2016
Those were the days Malcolm, sadly never to return, us oldies were lucky compared to today's generation, the late Vic Sirett(CRO) briefing the assembled multitude in the FAAM car park before opening the gate to the photo call, another thing that Mick suggested to Vic and he ran with it.Malcolm wrote:Us old fogies can remember the days when 24+ Wessex 5's were in the Junglie assault, and we bemoaned the day when the SK4's arrived and numbers dropped to 18 or so, even if sometimes bolstered by a Chinook or two.

I can remember the Wessex 5s along the flight line, and the walk along too.
Seem to remember being taken across to South Dispersal by minibus to photograph the display aircrat located over there as well.
But being classed as an old fogie??? Only 46 years old here

Re: Air Day 2016
There will be some on static and I have no idea as to what will be flying yet, no doubt as the date gets closer more will be known, but as the post earlier says there will be a lot of restrictions around the outside of the airfield.MRTT wrote:Any idea what's taking part may have to get down for that!Seaking93 wrote:The 21st July is the memorial event for Capt Eric 'Winkle' Brown, approx 1,000 invited guests for the event being held at South Dispersal, a flypast of types flown by Winkle will take place, rehearsal on the 20thThe Star of Woo wrote:Was wondering the same re 20th and 21st July, has any one any idea what that's all about please?

Re: Air Day 2016
There are notices up in Ilchester this week that the main road through the town (the old A303) Is going to be closed for 3 days from 29th June. They've been dicking about with the drains/water mains for the past 2 weeks, so I suspect it's related. Anyhow, that's Wed 29th, Thr 30th and Fri 1st. If you're planning to go to Yeovilton on any of the arrivals days, it looks like you're going to have to avoid going through Ilchester. Locals will know how to do this via the Podimore roundabout
I hope they get the work finished on/by 1st, coz if it overruns traffic control for Airday on the 2nd is going to be 'interesting'

Re: Air Day 2016
Just to add that the road will be closed from 0930 to 1600 each day to avoid the peak times of travel in the morning and late afternoonMalcolm wrote:There are notices up in Ilchester this week that the main road through the town (the old A303) Is going to be closed for 3 days from 29th June.

Re: Air Day 2016
I see on it's web site Sally-B is going to stay at Yeovilton until the 3rd, after landing last Friday and not displaying at Weston or Welshpool
Re: Air Day 2016
Flying display doesn't really impress to be fair with a lack of fast jets. Still going to give it a go though. Lancaster cancelled today
Re: Air Day 2016
I didn't realise it but Friday tickets are advance booking only this year.
