Dies anyone know how long the exercise will last?

Usually four weeks, with a crew swap-over at the end of week two.

Nice & clear pictures of this flight, can I ask the location of the last four please.
Regards John.

The last four were taken from the 02 end of the runway, near the approach lights.

A little trip to Humberside to catch today's 'Thank U NHS' flight. John Romain, the pilot of Spitfire PR Mk.XI PL983 is flying around the country to mark the work of NHS staff during the pandemic, and the aircraft bears the words ‘Thank U NHS’ on it’s underside. Today he was joined by Spitfire Mk.XV...

I still need one of the detached Hawks! Can anyone tell me whether they are parked out when not active, or hangared. TIA

Chris

Parked outside throughout day - I believe they're hangared at night.

Not sure if this means the ‘ban’ is over, but it is still part of the loop.

No, it doesn't mean the ban is over. They'll still avoid the 'loop' photography spots

NATO evaluation so Typhoon's expected (not sure which squadron)

Not sure what else is due

9Sqn Typhoons mentioned elsewhere.

Would assume foreign visitors too then if it's a NATO evaluation?

The 41Sqn Typhoon 'APOLLO11' did two passes at Linton, so highly unlikey to be anything to do with any potential display on Friday given it was a 41Sqn jet and wasn't a practice display.

Not an raf decision it was a decision made by the aircraft safety board due to the age of the airframes. They are al...

The RAF are still carrying out low flying in other areas including the tornado fleet. There's more to low flying than the loop I was told that RAF Tornados are currently banned from flying low level. Not just in the loop, but anywhere. All sorties will now be medium-level. Unless you know any diffe...

It'll be a sad day that's for sure.

What makes you think it's Friday?

Wow.. that's got to be the closest you can get to any aircraft at a base these days!
