Hi markranger

Thank you very much for the reply... haven't seen any reports of the Germans flying today as yet so looks like you may be correct and a simular pattern of flying to last year.

Many thanks again, much appreciated.

That said today a couple of mixed formations have gone up today but look more like just normal flying and not Exercise based.?

Had 4 German Tornados low over the house in South Wales yesterday afternoon! Still in shock, as we only ever get helicopters , sometimes jets above 8000ft, so this was a very nice surprise, the sound was amazing!

More today please! Can't be greedy :-)

Hi, my apologies if this is wrong place or my question has already been answered elsewear, when do the Germans go home I am trying to plan a visit but have to fit it in around work. And coming from Manchester I don't want a wasted trip.



Thanks for any help

They have launched now and Coningsby seems to be on days this week so a guess is next week might be the night phase?

Please forgive my ignorance, I've seen posts about the German's and exercise flying happening every other day - is this correct or are they flying everyday?

Hoping to go over tomorrow and looking forward to getting some German Tornados if I can :thumb:

Thanks

Hi

So did they leave today as suggested, or are they enjoying a weekend of fun!

Hi.

They have left four went first with a nice flypast then the last two went and they both kept it low when they took off and they did a flypast as well.

Regards.
