Team SCUM are planning to arrive in convoy around 06:30 , but thats debatable as 2 of the cars are Alfas :))


Only one Alfa so I'm told.

means it's going to be a rather tight squeeze in the back =))

Although dunno why I'm laughing lol I get really claustrophobic :(

I've heard of going for a unique angle and trying to photograph something a bit differently - but everyone else having 300 photos of a Vulcan and you have 300 of Paul's legs and some pedals - that's a bit extreme!

So for those not already meeting up with people they know ... why not set a time for a group IA photograph? ;)

Don't know what timetable there is, but as no one else is making a desicion ....... 12 noon?
I expect a photo posted on IA by 12.01pm =))

Downside to this plan, Mr Wedgewood, is that we don't currently know what aircraft are due to be displaying at 12 noon - and therefore cannot evaluate whether we would rather be on the crowdline watching or near the VV for a photo!

However, I don't have any better ideas =))

For anyone going to RIAT, have a look at the RIAT Live! updates:

http://www.airtattoo.com/airshow/RIAT_Live

Has reports and photos on, plus a link at the bottom of today's page giving details of arrivals.

You CANNOT buy tickets on the gate -you can/could get them on line from ticketmaster and I believe some branches of Barclays Bank
