Must say that it looks more like a type to be flying very high with a long fast range.

those rear tailplanes are SR71 style.
just seems a lot of surfaces to grab the thin air,

Nice pictures in the snow, good to see her still in the area and being looked after,
a pic below from the other Month while i paid a visit.

Must have been one of the Electras, i was driveing at the time along the Coventry to Banbury road heading to Banbury, spotted it flying low over Princethorpe between the trees and Hedges, did look like the 6 thou?.

Question i have to ask is,
say the Stealth effect is in the future flawed if not allready?.

and systems are made to track say the F35/ F22 /B2 etc.

Are these aircraft and there weapons going to work if they have to swtich to low level attacks?.

can they get down in the weeds and fly under radar like what todays and yester year types have done,

What disadvantages would they have or any advances in this sceneario.

Just curious to think if we have such types in the future and they have to switch to low level strikes, as low level strikes are the only option, can they cut it.

My understanding is there will be three bus routes.
As the event is in two halves either side of the (main) runway there is a free shuttle bus running between the two – south where the terminal is and west/north where the hangars/Airbase are.
The car park and ride runs from Brandon Stadium but I don’t know if it goes to the south or to the west/north but that’s irrelevant really as either links with the free shuttle bus. Brandon Stadium (NOT Brandon village) is not 8 miles away, I would estimate more like 4 miles (look it up on Google Earth) and on a Sunday Tollbar Island shouldn’t be a problem. Remember this is not an air display with crowds like Waddington or RIAT attendance will not be massive.
The third bus runs from Coventry city centre an terminates (according to the plan) at the west/north entrance. Again this will link with the free shuttle bus.

I have no idea if the organisers have ordered enough buses – how long is a piece of string??

The 8 mles is the distance from my house to the Airbase entrance,
look under my Avatar and location and you will see the 8 miles is about correct. you could be under estimating the intrest from the public for this event. lets hope it raises lots of money for a good cause.

cheers Rich.

I have thought about going too, but I dont want bus trips all round the place!

As I see it, when (and if) you manage to park on the Airports designated parking spaces (limited to 2,000) you have to get another bus to take you to the other side.

What time does anyone suggest I get there to secure a space on the Coventry Airfield then?

No time will get you on the airfield parking, all of the tickets sold out 24hrs ago.
you will have to park at Brandon speedway carpark, wait for a bus to shuttle you to the airport.

Just park it up at Coventry for the winter,
perfect for the new theme the airport as set up,

an open airfield with all it needs Central for flights around the UK.

Open to the public to view and central with good road networks for public acesse,also a short drive from the Main TVOC offices.

No brainer really the place is perfect for 558,could even be a spare space in one of the hangars,
Being on the doorstep of a major city.
