There is a danger area notam 1000-1200 local - ties in with usual Reds notams.

It could be for Protector, but they tend to have 324a and b NOTAMs when they fly.

Reds return on the 1st June after their Midlands display.

Some shots of a few visitors and the home based in the past couple of months. Fisheye made a return as well. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54577850303_a6b309bd70_b.jpg DSC_1566 by Mike Hiley , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54577850298_bb32daaacc_b.jpg DSC_1676 by Mike Hiley , o...

Good to see them continuing.

Do they plan to go back to ten this year or will it be next?

Mike

Swiss up and on route for Practice/validation

With thanks to Andy.

I don't recall it ever having to be re done - lots of planning goes into it.

For example the Flypast over Waddington last year for the RJ and Reds took 5 months of planning - so something like this with multiple types from multiple bases must be more?

Clear out continues.

Lots on here at low start prices.

Tomorrow's practice is cancelled.

It will go ahead on Wednesday

This should be pretty similar to the VE day flypast, but with presumably no RC135 as none are at Waddo, and with the addition of Chinooks at the front.

P8 probably stopping off at Waddo after the practice which seems to be the norm now.

The first post of this topic would be a good place to start - reading back through the thread the last update by Niall was 2nd May.

Airborne for final leg

ETA 1600 local

Worth calling out next week is half term in these parts and probably others - Coningsby will probably be heaving.

First wave will probably be around 4/5pm - will know more when the NOTAM comes out on Thursday

Coningsby advise night flying well in advance - usually towards the end of the month.

That's my bad - it's three votes each, I'd copied an old thread and forgot to change some wording.

Mike B would've picked me up on this within minutes!
