Why do they feel the need to put OTAN

Is it for the Arabic nations who read backwards

It seems nonnsense to me

You have to look at it CROSS-EYED, David......

It's the damned frogs again I'm afraid.

Organisation du traité de l'Atlantique Nord (OTAN).


Please remind me. Are they in or are the out at the moment?

After several attempts on Stupid Tube, my videos from RIAT Sunday have FINALLY uploaded!

Here is part 1, which covers her waiting to taxy, being overflown by the B-52 and then taking off herself into an incredible Kev-Rumens-Tonka-pilot-special wingover! The actual link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufd7qLeG1Rk and it is better if you watch it in HQ and in full screen, but here's the small version of it:



Here is part 2, which is the main display. When she took off, she did a massive wide circle behind the airfield so this video starts from when she does her run in from the right, to begin her actual display.... The link if you want to watch in HQ and full screen is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSwrpO47A_M or here is the small version:



Apologies on both videos for the amount of wind noise you can hear and how shaky the camera is - it was blowing a gale out there, and as Wedgy and I were stood watching from the middle of the lawn completely unprotected from the elements with no shelter at all (go on, violins please lol!) the wind was trying to blow me over, it was all I could do stand relatively still! Also, the footage was taken in widescreen, not sure why I wasn't able to capture it as wide-screen, so it looks a bit squished. I might try again at some point but who knows!

Enjoy!

Well, finally got around to getting my photos off the camera today - far too many taken as per usual and I was dreading it!

Anyway, here are some of the 'fit for public consumption' ones from Saturday (didn't bother lugging the camera around on Friday or Sunday):



























Cheers,

I certainly don't recall seeing it either. Mind you, I did miss the beginning.

[Saracenman]

it is possible that it displayed while i was hiding in a tent with a mad Scotswoman!
