RIAT 2009

[Frank]

I've been to 4 or 5 shows (I think) so far hoping to see the Vulcan, and I finally managed to see it at Volkel.

I had planned on going to Waddington but couldn't travel as I had no passport, I'm also going to Yeovilton & RIAT, will Volkel make it 1 show out of 7 or 8? I hope not.

You should check out UKAR for the latest info (and venom!!!)

I know Frank, I haven't seen a flying Vulcan in about 30 years and was hoping to see it at Biggin last year, but it wasn't ready.  Then we were looking forward to RIAT and that was washed out and now this year seems to be in doubt.  There is a pretty good line up, but XH558 would have been a bonus for sure.

HI vulcan
How the hell did they let something as important as a valuable doc expire?? A lot of generous folk including sponsors gave a shed load of cash to have her airworthy, only to let a CAA or PTF or whatever doc expire! Surley it was flagged by someone in admin

What are the chances of all the paperwork required to ready in time for RIAT?

Maybe the inclusion of the VC-10in your latest update could be a replacement just a theory!

Great video of the Spartan too Vulcan

Ive had a change of travel plans too
I’m going to be at Both Days I also  had to change hotel

Hi Joey,  There is talk on UKAR that the Vulcan has a "fair" chance of appearing at Yeovilton this weekend, so that would mean RIAT as well, but there is no Garruntee about these things.  I can'tunderstand the c**k up either, heads should roll for this.  They won't be getting any more of my cash until they can prove they are worthy of running such a project.  We will be flying out from Dublin next friday on the 17.20 flight to Bristol, so we may see you if you are on that flight.  It will be a good show regardless and I am still looking forward to it

Irish CASA cancelled, but replaced with an AW139.  At least we are sending something.  Probably something to do with the emergency incident on the 2nd.

[Frank]

The CASA that declared the emergency is ok, there was a false warning. Another CASA was due back from Spain but it is still there, that's what the hold up is.

The Vulcan is back in the air too so we'll see that at RIAT.

[Vulcan]

Hoooray!  the Vulcan is ba :applause:ck

For anyone who still has yet to buy ticket for RIAT this weekend, Saturday is a sell out, tickets are now only available for Sunday.

Hi Joey, glad youhad a good time.  We were there and then headed for the London area for a couple of weeks so that is why I'm late replying.  the Rafale, 757, vulcan and the Navy100 were the highlights for me.  here are a few pics that I took.





























Will probably have more when I get around to sorting them out.
