joachim Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Harald, i'm going too! We are leaving from Holland friday evening and going back the end of monday. So, it's going to be a nice weekend. Are you staying on the camping? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ranakoshgelam Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Now you lot are making me jealous , last time I went there was in 2006, before I moved to USA and every year I want to go back home in July and now the Vulcan has since been restored and in flying condition. Will it be there this year? Im going to try to go next year, my wife wants to experience the olympics and hope they would still have RIAT on. Over here, I go Homestead and that gets boring just showing USAF aircraft and not international. But it kills the craving alittle lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it kills the craving alittle lol The VULCAN is at WADDINGTON AIR SHOW THIS WEEK END ..July 3rd..... RIAT is held every year but can be cancelled at the last minute whether you have tickets or not if it has BEEN RAINING...they did that in 2009 I think nd all tose with tickets still could not get in to see anything and had to go home ! RIAT expects eveyone to have a ticket bought online as it does not sell ANY TCKETS at the gates so if you do decide to come remember that for future...IT IS A GREAT Experience to go to RIAT...I went in 2007 last time !

Flankerman Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I wasn't going to go (bad back and just bored with the whole thing)....... But I may now go just for one day - Saturday. We tried to meet up with fellow ARCers last year - 12 noon outside the control tower. But in the end only me and Hoops turned up - talk about P*ssups and a Brewery.......

Do you know when the Ukrainian AF Il-76 & Su-27 are due to arrive ???? I might be tempted to get to the Park & View for those two. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Ken et al, Ken the two that you mentioned are shown on the list ! I don't know if this will help but it shows what is flying , what is static,support and visiting etc....scroll down for the list... http://www.militaryairshows.co.uk/ven3.htm Edited July 4, 2011 by HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flankerman Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Ken the two that you mentioned are shown on the list ! Yes - but I am trying to pin down exactly when they will be arriving - Wednesday, Thursday or Friday ??? Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cotswoldmodels Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes - but I am trying to pin down exactly when they will be arriving - Wednesday, Thursday or Friday ??? Ken Not entirely sure no, but i have a contact at RIAT so might just ask. Either way, i will probably park up somewhere close by and walk, unless they open the field at Whelford end again for £5 a day (seems good value to me!!!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes - but I am trying to pin down exactly when they will be arriving - Wednesday, Thursday or Friday ??? Ken Ken Had a word with RIAT and they won't tell ME any more other than that it will be either Wednesday or Thursday when The Ukranians will be flying in..Tsk!Grrrr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
