The Apache couldn’t even catch an airliner, it’s a helicopter! The Apache is limited to relatively low level operation, Typhoon can fly up to ~60k feet.

Glad you pointed that out 🙂

Would they really put missiles on roofs, in a built up area ?
Especially as reliability would be an issue, more likely temporary radar.

What could the Typhoons do, that the Apache’s couldn’t ?
There’s been quite a lot of low flying Apache night time activity recently.
ZJ209 flying over tonight.

The website says that the Great War Display Team will be flying 2 shows a day. The rest of the “display” will be large scale radio control models.
Hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder this time. Unfortunately both the fly ins I attended at Stow Maries last year were blighted by strong winds which reduced the number of visitors. They definitely deserve better luck with the weather this year.

I don’t think it’s looking too hopeful for this weekend. Car parking could be a problem on waterlogged fields.
The weather forecast for the rest of the week and weekend looks petty foul 🙁

Yes, those places do have the odd hillock, but they’re not close to London 🙂

There is always a need to respect the dead, but on the other hand I don’t
think we should get so touchy feely. Especially when it comes to lecturing
others as to what they should or shouldn’t be doing or saying.

Leave that to the forum moderators, and don’t try to take the moral high
ground. It seems to happen too often on here.
