BBMF and Typhoon PDA is tomorrow with fall back on Wednesday. Heard from a chief tech at the fence line.
Currently waiting for a Hurricane to be serviceable to conduct a practice.
Plenty of bingo times for today.

Having just seen the Look North (Lincs) weather forecast for tomorrow, It might be a very wet afternoon.

Best of luck

Board was updated yesterday, earlier start time of 09:30 now rather than the original 11:00, pressume due to weather.

Now raining in South Lincs so lucky this morning. How well the PDA's went may be.open to conjecture as C-47 did not get airborne. First display clearly should have been four aircraft as call signs of those that made it into the air were Trenchard 2 to 4
