Seem to be rumours going around that An Osprey and the Mig 29 OVT may be at Farnbourgh, which means that there is a good chance of them being at Fairford. We should know on Tuesday, there is to be a press announcement or something on participants at FI. Fingers crossed.

Is anyone going to this?

I had been thinking of it. However recent family changes may prevent me going this year. Was wondering how people were getting there.

2 of us were planning of flying to Stanstread and getting picked up by the third who lives in Cambridge then driving down. Should be a 3-4 hour drive.While Birmingham is closer to fly to we thought meeting earlier was better for camaderie and such. ANd at leasat we all know stanstead.

Dave (Steyr), myself and my son are going. We are flying from Shannon to Bristol on the Fri and coming back on the Mon. Getting the airport shuttle to Bristol Temple Meads train station and them about 40 mins on the train to Swindon where we will be staying. We will get the shuttle bus out to fairford on both days, its much quicker as they get prority routes.

RIAT was scheduled for a couple of weeks ago , but due to a waterlogged pitch never took place
