If found return to Iconic Aircraft group located at the nearest bar........No reward.

[Xplumberlives]

Thats hardly likely to get her returned is it!

[RLN]

Do we want her returned?

[Nickolas]

Dunno, best we ask DT.

We could donate her to the Dutch F16 team in lieu of Looky.........

[Mayfly]

Hmmm - difficult one - in the bar with IA members or the F16 crew

no contest really!!!!

[Cluny]

Its looking like its going to be a bit damp this year
Not again

[Mayfly]

Well stay at home then!!


haven't seen the long range forecast - still a bit early isn't it - they can't get it right on the day never mind a week ahead!

[Stigish]

Metcheck were spot on with last years long range forecast for RIAT weekend. The only thing I would take with a large pinch of salt would be the temps.............

Have you decided what day you're going yet Cluny????

[Cluny]

Saturday is my prefered choice

[Mayfly]

and mine!!!



well met check - which according to a lot of fora is not good for getting it right anyway - doesn't show rain - but it does show full cloud cover and chilly.... and the 7 day Sunday weather shows different temps to the day chart for Sunday

[SnailRFC]

The long term weather report on Radio Gloucestershire this morning was basically "There won't be anywhere in the county that escapes the rain on Thursday and Friday, although we do state, it will be showers, but we're not sure how heavy or for how long they will be"

Saturday and Sunday to follow when I hear. In the office now, so probably later or tomorrow for the next update.
