17 must be for the formation flypast upon arrival. Perhaps a solid arrowhead with double tail. Said in the spirit of speculation true to this thread!

Are we sure it's F-16CJs as according to PlaneBase the only Air Arm with F-16CJs is Singapore, wishful thinking?

Are there any plans for King Charles III to review his Armed Forces as the Queen did. Just a queation as I was too young when the Queen ascended the Throne, not yet born :-) but I do remember the reviews for her Silver Jubilee.

Any thoughts

Just had 4 Wildcats fly over me in Chelmsford (11:10 am). Judging by the direction they are inbound Wattisham. Only one showing on ADSB, ZZ397. Any help with the other 3 will be appreciated.

Recent posting on MSF and Touchdown (May 2022) suggests DM overflights are regularly being denied.

The flights over the Boneyard are now restricted to be above 5,600 feet or even higher or they can also be denied. Not good if taking photos

Re XV499, looks like they have added a bit to the top of the tail between July & October.

Now that Biden has opened the US I have booked a trip to Arizona for the end of April 2022. Planning on basing in Phoenix but want to do AMARC & Marana. Any suggestion re plane hire companies at either Tucson or Avra Valley.
