not the Same Anymore
 

hi
Yes ive spent many good show weeks at the bushe in the 60\70\80s
and fairly recent ones always worth a few hours there . not really sure
if TAG getting the use of Runway at FAB during the show has made that
much differance +RAF odiham got some of FAB Based stuff
and the BAE-SYS Shuttle ATP Remember G-CORP ATP sadly stored at Southend cos it was deemed to Noisy for FAB.
Still you do get some unexpected visiters :oh: any preferances this show for a flyby nice B1 or KC135 :O ? 777

Hi People,
Anyone know when the "kit" starts to arrive... I am assuming that the A380 will be just be doing "flybys" anyone know for sure?

Cheers

I just had to laugh at the plea from monkeytribe! Free Farnborough tickets are like gold dust... unless you are in the "know". As a Heathrow Air Traffic Controller I could never get a ticket - I think the whole ATC unit used to get a handful to raffle. One year a controller from another European country visited us. He was over for the show and was astounded when we said we couldn't get tickets. He produced a sheaf of them from his pocket and dished them out! Similarly, a one time neighbour of ours worked in the UK for a US airline and this guy could get as many tickets as he wanted! Sadly, none came our way! That's life..

Hi All, Anyone got any idea when the aircraft is due to depart?
Is it visible form the FAST Museum side of the airfield?

It should have been well visible from the museum, but don't know if it will move...

TICKETS
 

HI

The only ticket you are likely to get given free is one you dont need and
will evenually cost you £ The boys in blue dish out to bad parking
etc and plenty around FAB at the moment . mind you there ok check
public weekends on traffic control many have glove puppets on SOOTY\SWEEP and friends keeps the kiddywinks amused while in 2HOUR Jams

Hampshire's finest....

An124 is parked on East Apron aka 'A' Shed tarmac and should be VERY visible from FAST; just looked and I'm surprised there's no -one there!
Will depart domali

Tony

HD,

excellent pictures! Thanks for that; as a matter of interest what time was that? I should have stayed at home for the morning I guess..:sad:

I'll bet that caused a few nervous glances skyward from the traffic on the Aldershot-Fleet road...:O

Chevvron,

any clues as to ETD tomorrow?

Well done for getting those available so quick HD :ok:

Judging by his height over the fence, I assume he used the full length and didn't land 600m in at the displaced threshold?

Sorry can't give out info like that, but expect before midday.
Meanwhile Red Arrows in on friday about 1030 am for validation after midday

We took the snaps as it landed, around 10.45... 10.50ish.. (can't recall exactly).

Bren

Chevvron,

totally understand.:ok:

That's general enough for me to make some absence plans...:E

I hope that "The Swan" retains its full complement of chimmney pots if still on 24's.:O

Thanks

Wycombe: take a look at NOTAM C2954 for details of extended LDA
