Got a ticket for Saturday if anyone wants to buy it...... Long shot I know. The gear box has died in my car, so I can't even meet someone to pass the ticket on. Was hoping to have sold it but got knocked back today.

Hope you all have a fantastic time. LOTS of photos required pretty please with a cherry on the top

Don't worry Tom, I think the traffic was more of a disaster then was planned, I didn't receive your Dad's text until 17:15...........I presume he sent it shortly after 10am? :(

Was it me or did anyone else experience network problems with their mobiles??? I had a full signal, but couldn't make/receive a single call until after 5pm (around the time the Reds were displaying) and then I got a bundle of texts around that time too, all of which were sent earlier in the day ~x(

I had the same problem with my mobile (Orange) i.e. full signal but couldn't make calls or use mobile internet, however my other half who is also on Orange had no problems at all.

Gave me the hump.............
Arranged with Pam to get DT to sign a couple of books (which he kindly agreed to do) then couldn't access the voice mail . NOT a happy chappie.

Still there is an excuse to meet up again hopefully.

My mobile's on Orange too, so looks like the supposed "best network in the UK" was the worst at RIAT X(
Its a shame alot of you live too far oop north to attend Bournemouth Air festival this year. It'd be the perfect location for an IA meet up and no step ladders to block the view either (you'd sink in the sand anyway). Although the south coast contingent will be out in force I'm sure seeing as its "By the Sea and absolutely Free!"
