GOOD POINT! I got badly sunburned while with cluny at Brize, but that was while standing outside the fence!
If thats the case, I'm going to hand out one of his pictures from facebook to all entry point staff telling them under no circumstances is he to gain entry until sunday ;)

Metcheck has updated the forecast again............Looking better still for saturday and worse for sunday :ymdevil:

Oooh, I thought we were only getting 3 over here......


Edit.....

Sorry, another novice question.....

Been on a couple of sites and found a few frequencies for Fairford, but not being 100% sure on what I'm doing still, does anybody know the most up-to-date place to get the right ones from or actually know what they will be on for 2010?

Cheers

Nothing wrong with a back-up plan. Are they not also taking part in some sort of training exercise?

Just read 2 differnt views

1, The F22s at Lakenheath are NOT the ones going to RIAT - they are here for an exercise!

2, The ones at Lakenheath ARE the ones going RIAT & will be doing so on Thursday morning & displaying in the afternoon!

Whichever it is - hope those who see them enjoy - and please don't let them break them before I see them Sunday :D

The closer we get to Thursday, the worse the weather report gets. Take full waterproofs by the sounds of it. :(
