Jeff
hi, can I take you up on your kind offer, I visited on Tuesday, only over the fence and thru the trees couldn't get a ticket! and by the time 2020 comes round those lilac trees by the Swan pub will have blocked everything... Now the req's, at about 1230 I saw the Corsair wings folded by either the P.38 or B.25, ok I should know the difference but the angle and trees defeated me. Any of the biz over the far side, not counting the BBJ's or A.319, lastly a real tester but looking from the Swan, their was 2 or 3 Gulf's and a Falcon in a line facing the runway, from where I was the P.8 was at one end and the ANT178 at the other...
A late arrival yesterday around 18.55 was a Navy Lynx type does anyone happen to know the registration? or an Orange AS350? leaving around the same time?

I was just thinking the same Jeff, if Graham has a beard and I think a straw hat he was probably the gent we advised to use the Qatari 747 for a view of the Harriers
I did ask the 'fence crew' about the Harrier's but I don't have a beard or a Straw hat. I was in a blue shirt with a 'tilly' hat. I did advise one of the group about a phone that was about to drop from a rear pocket.
I saw the Wasp over my house this evening, departing Farnborough, closely followed by two autogyros (G-IROX and another.)
Judging by the colour scheme I would imagine that the Wasp was G-KAXT/ XT787.
Thanks zz.
I saw G-IROX taxy out this evening then had to leave the airfield, so don't know for sure what the other gyro was. The only other one that I saw today was the flying display one which was G-DISP.
Hi Graham I'm sorry we didn't knowingly meet, but at least we were able to help you with the Harriers.
Hi zz On Friday G-IROX arrived with G-MGNI the latter of which soon departed with I'm told G-IROX's pilot, so a reverse procedure may have taken place on Sunday
