Waddington Airshow 2012
 

The South Korean T50 team have practiced over Scampton over the past 2 days. Noisy little buggers, sort of a 3/4 size F16/18 hybrid. Not a bad display but I don't think the RAFAT have much to worry about.

They'll be at RIAT too, (with 5 other display teams). Mind you to get the Koreans here was a pretty good effort from them. 5 X 747 freighters into Manchester, road move to Leeming for the rebuild! :ok: Hope they didn't have a bag of bits left at the end.

Belgian F16 Solo Display with Renaut 'Grat' Thys will be the act of the day.

It's the Saudis that I'll be wearing the tin hat for...

Actually I think you will find they are T-50Bs

seen the Qataris have cancelled. Shame wanted to see their C-17 :{

One imagines that it might look like any other C-17, but with strange writing on the side.

Makes a change from FS26173, doesn't it?

* Yes, I know it's to promote Qatar when carrying out humanitarian and/or relief work.

I take it no Vulcan this year then?

assuming that's a genuine question about the Vulcan, then no, it won't be there.

The idiots entrusted with looking after it managed to leave some large items of FOD in the intakes and trashed two engines.

S-D

I was aware of that but heard earlier today the new engines were in and OK.

That's obviously not a joke. How in gods name can that happen?

Is the lottery fund still buoyant then?

An arriving Gnat over cooked it a bit and had a tailscrape, I guess it will be be Coffee, no biccies but here's a tin of T Cut.:8

The sorry saga here...

Poor little Gnat; that doesn't look healthy at all. Piccies can be deceiving, but there has to be more than just a scratch there?:{

Chop that student!

Never try to "three-point" a Gnat!
