Understand there was a 2nd one through as Marham 99 as well around 3pm.

**Looks like this was ZM148, just disappeared of ads.
Heard it, didn't see this one though. Noisy beggars aren't they.

Potential for an F35 flypast/ mini demo this weekend?
This NOTAM for Marham indicates no weekend flying, so unless they land away (which I don't think they have done yet) doesn't seem too likely. :

Thanks for that,

Marham is only open for a few hours tomorrow afternoon as well, with a NOTAM out advised closed to visitors etc, so as you say it looks unlikely.

Does anyone know where the Lithuanian Mi8 is coming from? In other words where is it refuelling en route to Yeovilton?

Got an idea of the likely route for the Mi-8? Can't make it down to Yeovilton so will just have to keep my fingers crossed it might be near me :lol:

ZM145 & ZM148 came back N of Aylesbury this afternoon presumably back to Marham, it would appear not together

Out of interest is there anywhere you could recommend to go once arrivals day kicks out to go watch the rest of the practice displays?

C17 96-0002 is on approach to Brize as RCH527. Assume they are positioning over later.

Time 09:58

Looks like LANCER23 168764 is going to be the P-8. Currently (10:53L) circling over Lyme Bay at 4000 feet.

And the German P3 is showing as GNY4536 3F6006, which I think makes it 60+06.
