Any idea where the planes will go. The tutors can use grass but the new jet can't. Barkston or waddington?

All,

This should make no difference to the Flypast,as they fly at a right angle to the runway

When did 337 go up? Only saw 333/334 today.

Any idea why the other two are still at Waddington?

I don’t know if 337 flew today but it was parked on the apron alongside 333 and 334.

Can any locals please advise if the cross runway is still in use or is the main runway back in operation? Many thanks.
