Dont even go there, I’m sorry mate but you don’t know what you are talking about.OK so you attended possible not the best airshow at WOODFORD, however to say that their organization was bad would be an injustise. I attended most of the Airshows there and got to know some of the people in the background who worked dam hard to give ‘US’ a good day out whilst also raising money for the RAFBF. Which I must point out is the exercise of the event.
I’ve been there on many a show and got wet through but had a dam good day, the weather and availability of A/C is in the lap of the Gods.
Just make the most of what airshows you can get to from now on because I dont know how many will be on the calender in ten years time.

By the way if i come across my old logs from the early shows I’ll e-mail them to you, but dont hold your breath as my filing system at the moment is a bit screwed.

I use to have a respect for Sky’s reporting but not after tonight. How they always find an expert eye witness that knows jack sh*t and usually admitts that, is beyond me. It must take a special kind of person to stand and talk with such carm I know I could not,there again they would not hear what they were expecting.
I have only been unfortuate enough to witness one airshow crash, I was nearer than i should have been and it did effect my approach to a lot of things for a long time after.
My condolences to the family and friends affected by this accident.

To all going tomorrow and anyone thinking of now not going– Go, and be apart of it.
And if you meet up with the SKY or BBC reporters tell them why your there.

Well done, its great to be back. Did you get the B#####D that did it and if not let the boys know who did it and we’ll get HIM for you.
Not that we are bitter.

You,ve got to hand to any airline that gets themselves on the box for a 1/2 hour every week, I mean what would that cost in advertizing??:p

Have just seen this on http://www.precise-press.co.uk/baesystems/
Airbus pledge to Branson on Concorde
Hope it is correct.

The strikes are a bit early this year, or are there just going to be more than usual?
Paul:confused:

I don’t think support for any of the AIRBUS FAMILY is or would be in question.
Concorde is not in the AIRBUS Family.
Why support something that is 30 year old technology, is limited numbers, costs an arm and a leg to support and can not bring in the required revenue.
AIRBUS does not have a unlimited resource to throw at anything just because its a nice to have.
BOEING had that attiude and they have loss a lot of people over the last 12 months, just read the Seattle Times if you would like conformation on this.

Must be a fleet of brand new A330’s– hang on that would be a first for the RAF— no hand me down aircraft converted to tankers???
