I think you'll find that ZD437 is 43 - EB-J 41 Squadron.

Hi guys can someone confirm that the fkypass will happen on the 15th I'm stuck in deepest Luton and just about to start my last 12 hr night shift I'm planning to go straight to cottes in the morning but if it's already happened I'll go home :0(

Hi mate do you know which harriers were actually involved in the practise flypast today?

Aye, I'd like to know that too if anyone knows?

There were 17 over Waddo at 14.54, preceded about 15 mins before by a singleton?

[andy@cottesmore]

ZG859/91 came out of Wittering as Striker 10. He was the weather check aircraft flying about 10 minutes infront of the rest of them.

Oh thats odd.

ZD352/19 flew out about 10 mins before the main launch at COT and we assumed he was the weather ship.

I saw them over Waddington aswell There was 1 about 10-15 mins ahead of the 17 ship formation, it looked like a two seater but cannot be certain. I assume it must have been the one checking the weather?

Possible the "whipper in?"

we had a low fast jet fly through Wyton & Brampton as well (too low and fast to say a Harrier for def), but ours was probably half hour beforehand.

Amended, it should read ZD347 14A (i mis-typed it, sorry lads).
