27th September

Post by reaper493 » Tue Sep 26, 2017 7:04 pm

Just a heads up for any one thinking of going tomorrow.

BBMF Thompson display practice 1230 local.

Typhoon practice 1330 local

Both times taken from offical sources on twitter.

Hoping to pop across myself in the hope that some Germans move as well.

Thanks,

Hadn't seen that. Hope the wind doesn't stop the BBMF going up. The fighters are out, but the Lanc is yet to be towed out.

There are however, currently 26 Typhoons/EF2000 and 7 Tornados on the ASP. So even if there's no exercise traffic it could be a busy afternoon.

I keep on seeing reference to the Thompson display, but it's kinda bypassed me as to what that is? any ideas? thanks.

* Suspect it refers to the founder and I suspect it means either everything up, or all the original aircraft up?

Can anyone ID the unmarked eurofighter on the flight line around 12 noon on the 27th? If I remember it was 2 away from the special marked one.

Kind regards

Was it part of the 41sqd group of 4, at the far end of 29sqd line?

Or was it part of the 29sqd line?
