Postby Dan4th » Mon Jan 28, 2013 2:02 pm

According to the Connie Flyers Association
newsletter, the Breitling Super Constellation
WILL be at RIAT July 20 and 21 :ymapplause:

I'll keep an eye out, but I suspect there might
be other UK appearances during this timeframe
as well!!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps so, but it was a different
world 20 years ago.....

Besides, it was a Memorable Gesture :D

Thanks, Minty, a nice historic photo and
a familiar sight at LHR for many years!

She does tend to always photograph well
no matter the angle or the lighting :D

Think you can make it to RIAT?

And Cluny, I'm sure you'll do your best :ymapplause:

Sorry. Unfortunately not :( :(. Too far away, and I won't have the money to get there and back, stay there and go to the airshow. Will have to make do with photos and videos as usual (as I do with most airshows).

year!

Nothing about displays, but you never know.....
