I'll be at Farnborough Mon-Fri, driving one of the RR on-site courtesy cars. Don't know which one yet. Do you think they'd notice if I put a PH sticker on it?

Do say hello if you're there.

RIAT is much better if you park in the farmer’s field opposite the runway. Much better view, cheaper, nicer atmosphere and they fly right over your head eekcool
As for Farnborough, we usually take the bikes and sit on the bank overlooking the runway. The Red Arrows came over our heads extremely low a couple of years ago - it was awesome (and free).

There will be at least 20 of us. It's usually a lottery, whether we get sent round to TAG or the heliport during the day or spend the whole time whizzing around the main show site.
