The Chipmunk that took part in the flypast on sunday was:Rene Klok wrote: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?

- 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?

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.mailman wrote:frank kramer wrote: - was there an An124 in Brize's traffic pattern and overhead Fairford somewhere around 15:30 lt?

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

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.
