Not the best quality - but it's better than nothing

the view ratings just soared..

Tosser video camera bloke missed the take off - pillock

Not a bad display coverage though - once he'd found it again

Quite liked the infrared heat emission filtering - very interesting

He only managed to track it for a few seconds, then 558 got away from him! =))

Thanks Tom. As said, the cameraman wants shooting - how can you lose a big noisy thing like a Vulcan?

D1ckhead followed it till it got behind the hospitality tents then thought he was being clever panning on through - but she took off from behind the tents and climbed so steeply he couldn't find her again

Missed the impressive first wing over completely ~x(

We have a FLIR camera at work, except it uses colour or monochrome. We use it for casing leaks etc. It cost £7500 and the most use it gets is to find bunnies at night - and its laser pointer comes in useful

The girl in the last one looks like she's wearing a UFO on her head :))

A cast off from Ascot?

by **Mayfly** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:05 am

Thanks Dougs - the B52 only does flypasts - she took off from RIAT at 10.00 & returned at 3.20 - that's some turning circle!! :))

you are not kidding they were not stressing the airframe yesterday the airfield loop was about 10 miles :-o

i think you would have loved the martin baker stand as well Pam very cool they had the kandahar harrier ejection all over the walls

sex wee as some would say!!!

Well I know where I would have been all day then :))

I noticed yesterday that the fling display seems to be getting further away from the crowd line is this just me or have the H&S crew been at work? 558's display started really well with a fantastic takeoff and banking turn but did not stay very close to the crowd and just did a couple of laps, then the BAE typhoon was so far away i could not see it most of the time

by **Mayfly** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 3:36 pm

Not sure if there are different rules for FAB as it is a built up area, but it was mentioned at RIAT that 558 was displaying well away from the crowd.

There are display lines I think it's 350 meters from the crowd line. Was there a strong on crowd wind? - that may explain it if there was a danger A/C could be blown toward the crowd

I'm off on Sunday, if the show is miles away then that will be another I give the slip next time. ~x(

by **Roy898** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 4:31 pm

Does anyoe know what time the Vulcan is due to fly on Saturday/Sunday? i can't go to the show but will be in Guildford over weekend just thought i could combine my work and at least see XH558 fly over head
