mutley 4,498 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hi Sam, I may be going Saturday but nothing definite, make sure you take some of your excellent pictures and share them with us. I have only got a compact camera so cannot get a decent close up especially of the flying. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
B77W 0 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Joe, I'll send you a PM with my number, then you can text me on the day, if you want to meet up. I will let you attempt to use my camera... :-) and...and if i'm in a good mood, I may even share my crisps :blink: Cheers, Sam Link to post Share on other sites

B77W 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 It's alright... I've got on for you, :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Cheers Fred, I take it from experience that's the best place to be if the sun is out? I'll be sure to say hello! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Latest forecasts (For Swindon) are giving light rain for Saturday and sunny on Sunday. I'm still not sure which day to go but it is looking as though Sunday could be the better bet? I am hoping the forecast nearer the time will be better for Saturday :mrhappy: We will see.

I am hoping the forecast nearer the time will be better for Saturday :mrhappy: BBC is saying cloudy saturday, sunny sunday. Presuming this means no rain saturday, that will be the day to go as the BBC are also predicting lighter winds. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi Fred that's where I got my forecast from http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3451 But it can change for the better for then. There's only 2mph difference in wind speed between the days, I would rather go on Saturday as we'll have Sunday to get over it!! Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2036 I searched dirctly for Fairford. Maybe its just me, but i think that its closer to the airfield :mrhappy: I will probably have to go saturday, as i might be working sunday. My boss wont like it too much if i turn around friday and say "actually..." then again, we shall see. If its is defo gonna chuck it down, then i will have to try to change my days.

Only 14 miles away and the rain stops, isn't technology wonderful :mrhappy: As Sam say's you can never trust them, there's be a few times this year when they said we would get showers on the South coast only to have a nice day. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2036 Fairford is now better Saturday, but stronger winds. (better due to visablilty.) I think we will only properly be able to say on friday. Link to post Share on other sites

mulletman 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 :wink: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/day ... ford&day=2 SUnday looks just as bad if not worse - http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/day ... ford&day=3 0.1mm of rain is hardly anything. And it would be coming morning and very late afternoon. I think we can assume we wont be having last years weather. Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Here's some pictures taken (not by me) Yesterday. It's looking as though Sunday is going to be a bum day so I'm glad to be going tomorrow :wink: Saturday is looking to be cloudy 18°, 68° Relative humidity and high UV so make sure you slap the sun cream on!
