One page says:
Abingdon Airfield (Dalton Barracks) Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th May 2007
and another says:
RAF Spirit of Adventure at Abingdon Airfield, 26-27 August
Apart from that, all seems fine

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
One of the CAS's and RAF's new engagement strategy. It is designed to appeal to future recruits rather than the old style traditional air show with is market stands, beer tents, and expensive hot dogs and fast noisy things.

"Meet the people who live the dream"...
Are we allowed to say what we really think/ do??
Is the "motor sport simulator" a Corsa??
I've hard that the world famous Caz Leavy (she of the Times interview fame) is going to be there- best you wear a different name on your brevet Miss L!! Don't hand out any RAF pencils, just incase you drop any- it would ruin your perfectness...

And that's not including a £6 odd to park the car.

"Meet the people who live the dream"...
WTF is/was wrong with RIAT and the Royal Tournament?
And the link crashed my PC.
Edit: Link working again.
"THE RAF’S BIGGEST EVER ACTION-ADVENTURE EVENT"
Thought that was Telic1? Was from where I was standing!
Edited again. Just read a bit deeper in to the site. I'm truly embarrased to be associated with this twaddle...
Spirit of Adventure links and combines the people of the Royal Air Force with general entertainment and industry across extreme sport, motor racing, aviation, technology and lifestyle, theme park activities, live music, stage shows, film and TV
Whoever thought this up, please turn it off. Soon. Or at least cancel next year's.

Oh dear, oh dear - this does rather sound to be the most frightful bolleaux.....
RAF GROUND JET SIMULATORS & DISPLAY PLANES
Tornado, Harrier, Typhoon, Jaguar, Red Arrows Hawk, Hercules
No C-17, TriStar or VC10 flypast? They must be based too far from Abingdon. Or a Tutor aeros display, Merlin and/or Puma tactical display? Nope, guess Benson must be a bit too far away as well.....
“RAF Spirit of Adventure is the ultimate embodiment of the RAF and a great weekend,” says JEM Executive Producer, Terry Jervis. “Whether you’re looking for an adrenalin rush, live music or a great shopping experience, this event offers everything you could want from a day out.”
Hmmm....and only £25 plus parking. I seem to recall Abingdon air shows having been rather better value a few years ago - and they certainly put the Air into Royal AIR Force.
Even if they didn't offer a 'great shopping experience', whatever that might be.

Which non-existent gap in the military/airshow market is this circus meant to fill?
I thought between RIAT, Waddington, Leuchars and a few others the season was pretty much covered. If "Terry Jervis" (whom I've never met but detest already based on his drivel on the SoA website) reads this, we have a number of airshow style events already thanks.
We like them, the public do too, please don't try to fix what isn't broken.
Do JEM make casual clothing too by the way?

Charging the public £25 a pop to attend an RAF recruitment fair reaches new heights on the naivety scale...
Flying Programme:
1000 - 1030 Tac Demo
1030 - 1700 Tumbleweed on runway (and car park I suspect)

I tried clicking on www.raf.mod.uk/spiritofadventure and, surprise, surprise, it came up with 404-Page Not Found....
£25 seems rather a lot for this event. How much of that is going to the RAFBF? Or is it going to the meeja luvvies who can't even spell 'microlight'....
