I have just managed to take a look at my shots from RIAT. Here is a selection of what I have salvaged starting with Thursday.
A late start for me this year, and I have to admit I struggled throughout the weekend.


New Pilatus
Old Pilatus , its nice to see how things have changed over the years
The Algerian (boring it is not) under threatening skies. I for one am getting bored of being soaked at RIAT
Beware of Greeks bearing aged combat aircraft
A long way from home, the Brazilians always manage to splash on some paint.

Sunday on the Hill
The Dutch F-16 colours are great but really don’t work in anything other than bright sunlight
Yes yes I missed the flameouts, both days
Oh a Rafale, in a cloud, how very surprising!
I like this one,haven’t done much to it
Departures, stating with a brace of Gripen

Saturday was static day, and the sun was out (for a bit)



The difference between pilots and mortals? They make this look good!

Rafale and its cloud again

Friday dawned de ewe elle elle dull! Vapour is only any use when there are blue skies.

Rafale was initially great but on the whole the display didn’t appear to be much more than a Mirage 2000 with some twiddly bits, that speaks volumes about the quality of the Mirage 2000 displays. A fully display will probably show the differences in capabilities between the two aircraft. It like its own personal cloud though.

Loaded for Terry!

Then the light got really bad!
