RIAT RAF FAIRFORD Arrivals - Departures 2011

[frank kramer]

bloody stickers...

Thanks for clearing up yet another Frecce mystery (-ship )

[Rene Klok]

Indeed one mystery less.

While we're on the subject of id's. The Air Cadet 70 theme flypast hosted a Chipmunk with serial WG306 (c/n C1/0359). This one supposedly is registered in the US as N311SH (according to the UK military demobbed website). However the FAA register shows that one as destroyed. I also read somewhere that WG306 is a composed airframe after some sort of accident.
Anyone here who can shine a light on this?

Hello all, finally got round to checking serials and photos... and now the questions spring up! Could anyone help me with the following please (all relating to the Saturday):
- the AMI P180 on the north side
- the RAF Rescue Sea King(s?) on the north side
- the Hawk coded "CA" of 100Sqn in the Red Arrows line (what was it doing there anyway?)
- the Squirrels that were in and out during the day (did see "00" and "74" myself, but were there others?)
- was there an An124 in Brize's traffic pattern and overhead Fairford somewhere around 15:30 lt? Or was it something else?

Addition to the list (not seen mentioned here before)
- ZZ177 C-17A 99Sqn scs arrived in the morning and departed in the afternoon
- G-PSST Hunter F.58
- G-FBEG Emb.195LR FlyBe (flyby's)

and, with the risk of offending some purists:

- replica Hurricane: "V6555/DT-A"
- replica Spitfire: "EN398/JE-J"

Hi Frank,

It seems my PM's got stuck in the "postvak uit", so I'll send you my info via the messageboard:

I didn't read the P180 myself, so I can't confirm the serial. I didn't see a second yellow Sea King on the North side, so I guess the one you saw flying was ZH545. And about the An124, you could be right: (from fightercontrol.co.uk)

The AN-124 was inbound Brize Norton. I saw it when i was in Lechlade. It departed on monday early in the morning. It was an An-124 from Antonov Design Bureau.

[andel]

And the 100 squadron Hawk coded CA in the Red Arrows line was the XX284.
What it was doing there ???.
But it looked that on arrival Thursday a Red Arrow pilot/crewmember was a backseatpassenger.

Hi everybody,

can any kind soul help me clear up some queries about RIAT 2011 - I was attending Sunday 17 July.
- a Bulldog in the flypast coded 'B'
- a Beech 200 parked on the North side at the end of the sow
- a Cessna Citation parked also on the North side at the end of the show

Additionally, when we drove past Brize Norton in the evening, there was a parked airliner visible with a red tail, plus a C-17 landing at 1822Z/1922L. Does anybody have any idea what these were?

Thanks in advance

Cessna citation could be the G-FIRM or the Swiss af Ce-560 T-784 wich both came in earlyer that day.

Hi easy mystery to clear up
The chipmunk that was in the flypast was WG308 (G-BYHL). I am very lucky to be WG308's pilot.
Any photos of the flypast, please post??? all interesting to see.
