Flypast question.......

[Unknown74]

I was hearing recently that there is both the Royal Opening of The Queensferry Crossing and also The Naming of The HMS Prince of Wales Aircraft Carrier on the horizon, I just wondered wether there are likely to be Flypasts for both or either?

[Vandal]

Don't know for sure, but when the Forth Road Bridge had it's 40th a few years back, the Reds performed a flypast, but it was on the same night they were doing a Tattoo flypast, so they were already in the area.

How many aircraft will be involved.
Will they show up on SBS
Will it be a pair
Will they use Leuchars as a fuelstop
Anyone know the serials

Sorry just getting the usual questions over and done with.

Cheers for that info, unfortunately I am in Ayr for the Scottish Airshow on Saturday and not Sunday so unless the Reds very kindly perform a flypast either on arrival at Prestwick or on return from Portrush on Saturday my only real chance of seeing them is Monday over the Queensferry Crossing.

Shame they're only performing a Flypast over the Queensferry Crossing and not a full display.

The Reds are due to do a flypast on the Saturday at Ayr & a full display on Sunday.

Some folk are never happy.

Look on the bright side as you'll see then on Saturday it'll save you asking for the serials on Monday.

Fly past then direct Scampton.

[scimitar]

Fly past at air show cancelled, nice run and break at the airport though.

[Unknown74]

They may have cancelled the 3pm FLYPAST but still did one at 6pm, as soon as we had all got on our bus.

Red Arrow arrive back to PIK after Portrush - very nice indeed!

[Unknown74]

So now we wait and see wether we get any Flypasts for The Naming of H.M.S. Prince of Wales Carrier on Friday? Seem to remember one for H.M.S. Queen Elizabeth in 2014. So who knows?

Anyone know what happened after the Bridge Flypast?

Heard Red 1 calling "Gypo" & then saying something about one group going low level to Prestwick. The Reds did split into 2 formations after the flypast and disappeared off out to the East over the River Forth. A friend at work later said he'd seen the Reds overhead around Peebles, but there was more than 5 aircraft in the formation.

They were supposed to go direct to Scampton but cancelled due wx and returned to pik. They then went back to Scampton later in the day.
