How annoying was the Red Bull commentator at Kemble today?

Any ideas as to which one? Any particular markings? Yak 11’s are impressive machines, I’ve known it for years, just having a hard job convincing everyone else.

A rather nice Yak 11 flew into Kemble on the show day. First time I have seen one, very impressive.

Only a little, I had a nice warm shed to hide in for most of the time.

Only the one P51??? I was sitting in a field in Norfolk only to be treated to the sight of 2 P51’s which flew overhead and landed for display at a local museum open day.

Consider yourself lucky, I suppose you did not get soaked to the skin either? 😀

Fantastic Chinook display (never thought I would say that) plus elegant presentations by BBMF fighters and the P-51 Mustang. Very pleasant afternoon, apart from the rainy bits.

Apart from the commentator I thought the air race worked very well. It’s certainly something different and the freestyle bits at the end were excellent. The Chinook pilot should have entered, he would have won it hands down! 🙂

Shocking! What kind of of day spent watching planes is complete without the obligatory cone! 😀

A good one? 😀

blessed commentary silence & not a cone to be seen!

We arrived just before 11am, and apart from a few minutes queuing on the A429 down to crossing oncoming training (err – traffic?), easy.

Ahh, well, the answer to that is to have been down the far western end of the crowd line – blessed commentary silence & not a cone to be seen!

I had a mostly okay day – to much water for my personal liking, and if I have one complaint it is that the nearest toilets were down by the Dakota. In fact, apart from a few disabled ones here and there – they were the only toilets – whilst plentiful – us diabetics found the trip frequent and long.

I got there early so can’t comment on incoming traffic (7.50ish) – but getting out was fine. There are lessons others should be taking from Kemble, I’m sure.

How was incoming traffic for later arrivals?

exceedingly annoying, if i had to look at him, without hearing him speak, he would STILL be annoying.

all in all a brave man!!

I think he is on a par with the thunderbirds commentator i heard at waddington…….
