NATS doesn't allow you to link directly to pdf. You can find it here https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/ope ... auve-aics/

Doesn't matter now but the link includes all the txt to the end 2022 - FC terminated the hypertext at the first hyphen - it's a link to a PDF just showing the reduced airspace reservation - basically area C was over Marham and the airspace terminated at area E north of waddington where area C now is ( originally Area A-E now just areas A-C with B being over Cranwell

Section M in this link
https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/ope ... lars-AICs/

Leads to:-

https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/ope ... auve-aics/

Scroll down to the third item for the so called briefing sheet

I can't decide where to go - Cranwell for the whole flypast ( if it happens ) as I need the Valley aircraft ( if they take part in the practice ) or Coningsby to watch the Typhoons depart (if they do) and then quickly drive south west to some point under the flypast?

Just for (my) convenience - Repeating the link already posted so I don't have to scroll back

I know what my choice would be, you can see a Typhoon any day of the week. Don't forget if you are thinking of coming via A17 at Sutton Bridge you need to allow up to an hour to get over the bridge.

ZP807 Stingray01 just left Lossiemouth, could that be related to the flypast?

Good website for keeping an eye on the weather for the flypast rehearsal.

Well, if what I could see on ADSB is anything to go by should be a good flypast, my friend in Lincoln managed to catch the Phenom + Texans and Typhoons from home, I feel like I'll one-up her for the actual flypast down here in Chelmsford though. I'm looking forward to seeing the Poseidons for the first time.

That was a great flypast, everything turned out perfect, position, direction and weather - if only there were the full formations of Phenom/Texan, Hawk and Typhoon.

The Typhoons were spread apart, so guess they are doing another special formation?
