Either take a base ball cap with a very long peak or a big umbrella!

Dont worry I have an umbrella that is roughly the size of Belgium so I think I'm well covered

So we'll be adding the size of your umbrella to the long list of complaints eg: Tents, wind breakers, general large items blocking the view

You forget us Daaarset folk are vertically challenged

[Xplumberlives]

Then go in pairs and stand on one another and take it in turns so you both get to see something worthwhile!

I can just imagine it!!!

You could join in!

[Mayfly]

- you wouldn't need to you have your step ladders!!!

[Xplumberlives]

Very handy when confronted with 12 foot fences!

On a slightly more serious note are we going to have an Iconic Aircraft gathering on the flightline?? I normally head down towards the right hand end of the runway (assuming thats the end they start their take off run dependant on wind direction!!). Tis a good end for photo's

Is that the end the VV was last year?

Meet added to the IA meet thread

[Thumper]

Yes! I spent RIAT sat down there too, I started off next to the Pimms enclosure and moved around when things got too crowded.

[Stigish]

I was between the VV and the Pimms enclosure last year when 558 was doing her display and probably pretty close to you 350:

Just using a 5mp mobile camera instead of proper one.
As you can see I was a fair distance from the crowd line, but still placed well enough to catch the 'inverted' moment

*Apologies if these shots have offended anyone due to the poor-shouldn't have bothered look. I promise to make up for it this year, even if I have to bring a friend to sit on his/her shoulders

[Xplumberlives]

Photographs are ONLY lambasted on other fora!

[Mayfly]

Nothing to apologise for Stiggy!!!

[Xplumberlives]

[-x Nothing to apologise for Stiggy!!!

UNLESS, the new camera takes shots like the phone does!

[Mayfly]

you really are a GIT XP

[Xplumberlives]

I have today received an E-Mail from the RIAT Organisers with the following text;

The Air Tattoo set for a Flawless Performance

Organisers of the Royal International Air Tattoo are delighted to announce that they have secured Flawless; stars of the new film
'Streetdance 3D' and 'Britain's Got Talent'.

The inspirational dance act will appear at the show on Sunday 18th July for a short performance and a meet and greet with fans.


I couldn't be LESS IMPRESSED!

[Mayfly]

must remember to steer clear!!

[Stigish]

Do you think they could line them up on the runway just as say a B-52 lands They would be anything but flawless then.
