RIAT 2022 from Totterdown


Jinxman

Recommended Posts

Here are a few from the Totterdown Farm campsite - slightly different perspective from inside the show ground, but no doubt just as melty - it was warm.

Some superb images Jinxman from a different location to most of the others seen so far, I particularly like the topsides of the Finnish Hawk and Austrian and RAF Typhoons.  Well done!

 

Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding images! The Austrian Typhoons, Black Jack, the Finnish Hawk and the Frecce shots do it for me, absolutely top shots.

 

I keep meaning to go to Totterdown but never get around to booking Saturday night's accommodation. Next year............!

Thanks - stop by for a cuppa if you make it. 🙂

These are brilliant! So you don’t need to pay to get in the show if you can get pics like these from a local farm!

Thanks - there is a park and view option - not sure what the cost is, (we camp for a few days), but I imagine it will be less than official show entry.

Some superb pictures there - fantastic aircraft.  I like the mucky F-16.

They are excellent pictures. Much better than the rubbish I brought back 🙂

 

As for the mucky F16 I watched it with my bins doing a pass down the runway and it looked like they'd found it in a barn. What is it with the Greek airforce that the kit often looks so shabby? The Turks and Italians operate in a similar climate but theirs's don't look like they've been knocked back to the primer ready for a repaint.

 

Personally I like the look, and I'm sure they are perfectly well maintained and serviceable - it just strikes me as odd.

I think it's down to the operating conditions and the paint finish - they have the 'Have Glass' finish, (I think?). Perhaps someone can confirm?

Ah thanks - makes perfect sense for the F16. Now, about those A7 Corsair IIs 😈

Ta v much. Saves me taking my usual flask! 😁.

 

When I looked at park and view entry for this year it was a tenner with the doors opening at 6am. I can't imagine they would have had any trouble filling whatever spots they had available.
