Great shots! I've not even started selecting mine yet.

Cambrian in Colwyn Bay has a copy, tempted but as I have a F 1.7 FA 1.4 and AF-S G 1.4 Nikkor - all of which I seldom use............

It was my first RIAT and I thoroughly enjoyed it... Just got in at 10am, 1h30 of driving and 1h of queuing then a lot of walking....

I was thrilled to see the B2 and the Gripen (I've not been to a proper airshow since 2015.....and it was a long time before then so the Typhoon was 'new' to me), the presenter during the spanish formation team display was amusing - a cross between Fast Show and an uncrontrollable moped).....

Saw plenty of K-3 and K5, and the odd K-m plus 18-55....

My Dad had 13 altogether - from an 1982 99GL 2-door to a 2009 9-3 Turbo Edition. Only had to give it up for something smaller...

I am on No,4, starting on a 99GL from 1983 to probably one of the last new 9-5s, if you see a silvery grey example with CYM on the back tomorrow (either in the car park on the M4 or A419) do say hello. I might have a Nikon or 2 dangling off my shoulder but there will be a K3 plus DA*300 in the armoury for the day...

Thanks Mike - being a Saabisti it's the JAS-39 Gripens that excite me, but to see the F35 will be exciting too.

I got an alert today's RAF 100 flypast was cancelled due to the weather - we had a downpour between Goodwood and Guildford - nothing in Richmond, Let's hope tomorrow stays fine.

Tips excellent thanks guys, but I arrived late so it was busy...

It does really live up to its nickname 'Festival of Greed' doesn't it? Think I will stick to Revival.

It will be my first time on Friday - I am regular Revival attendee but only got tickets as a family member wanted to go but has had to pull out...

Anyone on here been ? Any pointers?

I'll keep an eye open for you Gareth, I will have my K-3 plus DA*300 for the display but I will probably be likely to be wearing my D810+24-120&D500+300/4 during the day.

It will also be my first time at RIAT and really looking forward to it. I am just wondering how close we can get to the display aircraft.
