Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
Thanks for the updates Big Boy and Nereus
We have planned a visit to China, then on to Australia and had already planned a flying (no pun intended) stop in Thailand on the 7th November for 3 days, to pick up the in laws and other family members.
If they are doing a display, we may well extend the visit to include a trip to Hua Hin to take in the show and visit family there.
Ooo getting excited, but will wait for any confirmation they will be in HH on the 11th.

I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.
Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
Things are starting to return to normal, so I'm still quite optimistic.

^ Optimistic and Thailand, are 2 words that are rarely seen in the same sentence on here BB.
We can but hope.

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
As the RA display falls within the 30 day window it is hard to see how this will be allowed to take place. It will be a shame if it does not but it is only to be expected.

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
But the Department of Culture are supposedly saying everything is back to normal now. I'm still very hopeful.

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
Given the proposed location, do not be surprise if the venue is changed. Also bear mind that one VIP is an enthusiastic pilot.

Would be worth travelling a short distance to.

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
Correct, there are 'enthusiastic pilots' and there are 'Red Arrows pilots'. Totally different leagues.

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
The Red Arrows displays can mark an occasion. It can be a joyous occasion and it can be a solemn occasion such as the Battle of Britain Memorial flypast as well as others. If positioned correctly I believe it would be seen as a remrkabke show of solidarity and respect for the Thai people at this time.

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
^^ Agreed.
About 30 years ago I lived on the clifftops between Dover and Folkestone. The Red Arrows were doing a display for Folkestone, and their gathering point after a fly past was just about level with my house - we even got a wave from one of the pilots! Shame there are no cliffs here...
And the beauty of a red Arrows display is that you don't necessarily have to be at the official viewpoint to get a good view, particularly particularly if it's somewhere like along the seafront.Big Boy wrote:Would be worth travelling a short distance to.

This is the way
Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
Probably the best display I saw was at Weston Super Mare, sat on the beach. As usual, they scared the hell out of everybody by arriving across the town, which was behind everybody. The seafront there provided the perfect arena with higher ground at either end of the bay.
They never fail to impress.
[Edit] I agree with JJB as well

Re: Red Arrows coming to Hua Hin
Just looking at the RAF page again, for Hua Hin it is the only entry stating Displays (plural), so maybe that indicates more than one display here
