    Farnborough airshow 2014

    This is what I have to look forward to today. And as local residents we get a BOGOF deal on the tickets plus kids go free; kerching! And the weather today is sunny with clouds but not low enough to obscure the view.

    I'm looking forward to the A350, P8 Poseidon and (if it makes it) the F35.

      Think you may need to scratch the F35, unless you enjoy BBQ's!

            The 787 was as quiet as a mouse while the F18 made my daughter cry because of the noise. I might have to go add an A400 Atlas to the stash now and please can we have a P8 Poseidon in 1/72?

              Just had a Super Constellation circle the house before landing. I've never seen a flying example before.

                I have though of getting the A400M model. Even though it's 1/72, it is still massive.
