. Haven't heard any updateds of the 31st, hopefully there's still a big days flying from Nimrods (31st that is). 
Did you know that registration to Fighter Control is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

26th March 2010 (Friday)
According to local newspaper The Forres Gazett there is to be a parade at Kinloss in a hangar with a flypast by a Nimrod in the afternoon, there is a limited number of tickets, but unfortunatly only people lucky enough to have worked on Nimrods are able to be given any . Haven't heard any updateds of the 31st, hopefully there's still a big days flying from Nimrods (31st that is).

Re: 26th March 2010 (Friday)
The ceremony at Kinloss starts at 1pm, so the flypast will probably be around 2pm possibly 3pm

Chaps
MR2 flypast at 1530 hrs Friday 26th March according to the events prog but don't shoot the messenger - they may change this due to the weather. Forecast is NE 3kts at the moment (actual) with a few clouds at 300' and broken at 1,400' with winds becoming variable in the afternoon mist
It's going to be hit or miss whether we suffer drizzle, low cloud, mist or luck out and get just grey skies
Lossie was adequate for photography at 08:30 but Elgin was misted in. Looking south at the moment I can't see the Brown Muir hill (600') and visibility is only a couple of miles.
Reading the local rag where an article quotes Sqn Ldr Roxburgh as flying the last planned flight next Wednesday (31st) but no timings given. If I hear anything I'll give you a shout.

Re: 26th March 2010 (Friday)
