Come on Wedgy, don't you know anything?

Strange thing is, that huge panel and computer could probably be replaced by one laptop now!

they could probably do it from Waddington and just send the planes up.

the keyboard is thicker than my laptop, bet it still spells things how it wants to and not how you type them

[Wedgy]

The keyboard reminds me of a Commodore 64

Fantastic pics Yorkie, thanks for posting them, love the Harriers and the... I think F-117A. What year was that at RIAT?

Can someone tell me what this one is? I like it a lot

[Xplumberlives]

It's a special blue and white traffic cone, only used at RIAT and behind it is a B1B Lancer!

You mean this one

[Xplumberlives]

No, not that one, but a similar one!

[Thumper]

Thanks XPL and Haggis, oooo I really like that B1B

Yes RIAT has great cones, they have blue/white and my favourite is the spearmint green and white!

Heres' the queue to get to meet the blue cone



Lovely green ones

[Xplumberlives]

Wonderful CONEAGE!

The bone (B1B) is a great looker eh Thumper?

There have been some good vids posted of them.
Someone must have the one where the silly people (being kind there) get somewhat windswept by standing in the wrong place as one powers up for take off.

Post your email addy Thumper. Someone is sure to send you footage of a bone

[Thumper]

Cant find that vid on youtube so if someone finds it please post it!

Let the hilarity ensue.

Did I detect a 'Blue note' at 1.24 ?

[Cluny]

That still brings a smile [even if i was there , i would of been one of them]

I used to love going to RIAT, watching the BONE, Concorde landing and taking off and a B2 doing a flyby and landing. I have some slides of the B2 in the loft somewhere, does anyone know which year that may have been ?

[Thumper]

WOOHOO!! I would have loved to have been stood there to watch that

That was a lovely "note" at 1:24

[Fat Badger]

The last B-2 at RIAT was 04....
