RIAT 2023

[Friar]

I have just booked for the Saturday. I am staying with my better half in a studio flat in Stow-on-the-wold from Thursday and are making a mini break out of it, taking in a farm attraction on the Friday, the show Saturday and travelling home Sunday.

[BluBear]

Just seen the latest line-up and even with many possible attendees still yet to confirm, it's already turning into a real cracker. Apparently the 78thFG checker-nose P-51 'Frances Dell' and T6 from Germany have self confirmed on their website too.

Going to pick up my tix for the Friday and Saturday this weekend.

I have never been there before so we will have to arrange where we are going to meet up and at what time etc..

[BluBear]

Just booked my tickets for the Friday and Saturday.

Annoyingly, the Friday ticket went up from £34 to £40 since I last looked, just a heads up for those wanted to come and not yet booked.

 

[Crash]

I think it might be an idea to look at making next year a Dogz day out if Legends havent got a date for 2024

[BluBear]

FYI Tom and I have just booked rooms here for Friday night: The Queen's Arms, Hungerford – Updated 2023 Prices (booking.com)

If anyone going to RIAT wants to room share, I have booked a twin.  Room now full of Dogz

[Sid]
