Spitfires and Hurricanes set for historic Flypast

[Doughnut]

I get plenty of leave actually, a benefit of public sector working.

However, I was not talking solely about me. I was thinking more about the general populous that may wish to watch this event, and that is probably easier for them to do so of a weekend, rather than midweek.

Just because they are planning this event, where does it say there will be public admission. Biggin Hill is not set up for easy viewing so best bet might well be the South coast. Hopefully there will be some form of viewing area set up at Biggin on the day but BHHH will have their hands full arranging the aerial action so dont expect much.

Public admission to where? Where did I say I expect there to be any? The event encompasses a rather large area over the South of England, as far as I can see?!

If there's a public viewing area at Biggin, I would be most amazed.

Does anyone know the routing for the Portsmouth area? I know they are due to take off at 1300 from Biggin Hill and I am expecting them here around 1330 but I cannot find the actual routing after scouring the web. Can anyone help?

Its interesting to note the the organizers seem to think the Battle was only fought south of the Thames maybe the flight should over fly over all the airfields that took part, Just IMHO

Quite agree.

But I can also understand that in today`s air lanes access would be difficult to overfly places like Hornchurch, Hendon, Northolt or Rochford to name a few.

I think it's called "Grice Flight" but no info about it, the "Hamlyn Flight" to Folkstone, this route and times has been published.

Don't know if there are any tickets still available, but the following posting appeared on the Biggin Hill Airport website regarding this event.

A report in the Portsmouth Evening News about the"Grice Flight"might be a help...but no actual routing..

I see the BBC News website reckons there will be 18 Hurricanes and 6 Spitfires today!? Isn't modern journalism wondefull... See the London Biggin Hill Airport Community Facebook page for the routings and last minute info.
