Sorry about the blurring- the image hosting site compressed them too much...

Hopefully the weather will be better next week!

Ahhh a 4G role demo... joy!

The crews get to wear 'role-demo' badges too, they must be proud...

Pirate 01 seems to have got a fairly good position against the Tonkas :E

Very impressive but why the practice now when this year's season is but a distant and damp memory
and next year's is, well, next year??
Is there an event on the horizon?

If you need to know, then you know. :suspect:

RAF - not just for airshows.

Tuesday & Wednesday, posted via NOTAMs.

Edited to the above, had posted a smart-arse comment about reading NOTAMs then realised Ex-Scrib is an ex-scrib... Apologies..

All very cloak and dagger then!
Wish I could get to the WAVE chuck wagon.
Quite fancy a bacon and sausage sandwich
and a nice mug of tea!

Great Pics
 

Great photos Sunshine Band. Thanks for sharing:D.

The weather stopped today's Role Demo, but, if the pyros are paid for, they need to be used up...

And there was me thinking it was a modern version of FIDO

Perhaps, given the date, said pyro's could have been shifted overnight about 130 miles to the south prior to ignition?

24Hr Rolex
 

The weather gods have something against the Role Demo. Apparently there is a 24hr rolex (now Thursday). Forecast not good though.

What is the difference between a Role Demo and a Flying Display? Why not call it a flying display? It really is a flying display isn't it? Or would that be breaking the rules?

It is actually a display and all pilots have a PDA. The name Role Demo probably wasn't the best choice and it does cause confusion. Can you think of a better name for the display event for next year? Comedy ones welcome.

The Roll Demo was in the galley of the E-3D. Mine was Ham and Cheese.

Ah, bless! Does that mean they all have a little kiss and cuddle in public? How sweet.....
