[D_T_W]

I'll be going, hoping the weather is a lot better than it was last year

[Famous Graham]

Yep, although I'm working a couple of shifts on our stand (PoppyScotland)

[HillfootsBadger]

I'm going too !

They've added to the flying display, E3 fly through and QRA demonstration.

[bigwheel]

Every year...

[lovingthepanda]

Yeah i'll be there. Hopfully joining in Jan so had better go!

[pattyg]

The last time we were there it took 2-3 hours to get out of the base car park....any better now? I believe they have P&R now.

P & R is the way to go, for free.

I quite fancy going along to this. Never been before just wondering is it worth paying the extra for a covered grandstand seat?

Nah.
If it's wet and you're dry and cosy in the grandstand, the flying will be badly curtailed.
I've been every year for well over 10 years and last year was the first time it's been wet and the flying suffered as a consequence.
Bring your folding chairs and get there 9:00am ish for a space on the rope-line. Too many selfish b's erecting cubanas.

[pattyg]

Weather looking great for this tomorrow.

Gonna try and get there for 9.30 ish .... will be busy though.

[bigwheel]

Get to the free Park & Ride on the Cupar to Guardbridge road. In a field just South of Guardbridge.

[FezzaDezza]

Was there today and saw most of the practice displays, does indeed look like it should be a really good day, both weather and flying!

[Mr Trophy]

I am leaving now. Perhaps alittle to early?

[ApexJimi]

Just back in.

What a fantastic day, and the conditions were perfect.

Great day out.

Think I spotted a pher seen someone with a ph sticker on the lens hood on an L series. Who was it?

[ApexJimi]

I was wearing a PH SPANK IT t-shirt

[SXi Lad]

Well, I wasn't there, I was at the Boness Hill Climb. And apparently this came from Leuchers.

[Mr Trophy]

Excellent day. However, very burnt!

Anyone got some good pics to put up?
