RIAT Friday 8th July...

[dave]

hi,
     I went on the Friday and apart from the weather which could have been worse, and the shuttle bus taking 1 and 1/4 hrs cause of the one way system getting clogged was ok. I liked the bus from the top entrance thru the flightline to the start of the static, went on it last year, but this time used it and the driver got out to have a fag so I got off and walked to the barrier, and stayed there for about ihr seeing the display a/c in and out.
    Anyway a request now did anyone get any of the light/helicopters over near where the F35A,s and B,s where parked? I saw 4 R22/44,s, one could have been G-RAVN, a SR.22?, Also as I was entering a Apache? t/o at 1003?

regards,

Helis noted over F35 side were

G CHSU
G CGNE
G ORBK
G CGNR
G CIZG

The SR22 could have been D ETPG which arrived in the morn

Apache was Dutch .... If Q-18 is an apache it was that one
