With all the negative comments and opinions flying around about the cancellation of this years RIAT, i just wanted to say thankyou to one of the organisers/supervisors. I only know his first name is Bob and he was driving one of the transits airside. After being asked by a few of the spotters around me on the west viewing area if he could ask the pilot of the Raptor to stay low until the end of the runway, he did exactly that. He then returned to tell us the pilot was more than happy to oblige and would also, on return from displaying at Farnborough, taxi to the end of the runway and do a circuit in front of the crowd allowing me to take these photos. He taxi'd twice approx 30' in front of us and even demonstrated the thrust vectoring nozzles.
Thanks again Bob for making the best of an unfortunate weekend.
