Thanks Christoff, very kind!
Fortunately it only took about 5 mins to copy it all from the old site!

Brilliant shots ZZ,
By the looks of things you must have been on your Jack Jones... No need to answer that!!!
I love the VC-10 with the reg on the tail, a 'la B.O.A.C. Hadn't realized they had done that....
Sadly haven't been to RIAT for about 6 years - last time I went was with my eldest son, we took a pair of scooters (little silver jobbies), thought that would be a great way to walk, or scoot, the vast distances involved... Anyway, I can a cropper in one of the soak a way's on one of the taxiways... Ended up in the St. John's ambulance tent for treatment!!! My son still creases up whenever we talk about it... (never liked him).... It was a really great day until that happened... Lol....
Just a pity its such a pig to get in... The best year was when I bought a ride on the BA B747 from Heathrow, 18 minutes from take-off to touch-down!!! That was VERY DEFINITELY the way to do it, only downside was I was up in First Class - not so much as a boiled sweet!!! But well worth the money!!!
Cheers ZZ, keep the photo's coming...
Bill

Blimey Bill "18 minutes" that's one hell of a long final from Heathrow...

Thanks Bill- I never did the B.A flight but it always looked a good, fun idea!
Fortunately someone who works there gets me in on the Fridays, so I get escorted around the base with very few other people in the way for photos, and no traffic problems!
It's a very lucky, convenient way of doing it!
I'll copy 2011 pics across from FAB site tomorrow!
Cheers
