You mean two years ago when it didn't attend?

First time the F-35 has ever been in the UK

I went to Miramar, California and saw the F35.

Were you the best of the best, and did they make you better?

Wow - an insider

Why do most of the biz jets coming into Farnborough not reveal their registrations?

Shady Russian owners I expect

[Trevatanus]

Anyone know if any airshow arrivals expected over the weekend?

[Trevatanus]

Morning, I understand that the A380 is due in around 15:20 today, as well as various items arriving after RIAT. Anyone got any times for these please?

A400m pilot not messing around

I quickly read that as "A400M pilot is missing" and thought... WTF Happened???

ALL flying stopped until this line of heavy showers clears - which may be a while.

If the weather is coming from the West, you'll be fine.
It's glorious blue skies in Theale.

[Trevatanus]

Don't know the year, but was very impressed to see a C17 do this one year as there was so much water on the runway.

Eric Mc said:

What's the situation with the road between The Swan and the FAST Museum? I used to watch from there in years gone by but haven't for a long time.

Is that now off limits?

(at least partially) Yes. I was down there on Sunday to see the A400 arrive, it was blocked off about 1/3rd of the way down, with 2 guards blocking the way. I would suspect that the entire road be blocked by now.
