Reds prepping now, sounds like they are doing some sort of display practice before heading off to Mildenhall

Because they are doing Duxford show on Sunday I guess - same as last year. Saves opening Waddington at the weekend too I would assume.
Correct

Waddo hate opening on weekends - main reason why we didn't get any of the stuff for Cosford this time.

Re: Reds up on friday 13th?

There is a danger area notam 1000-1200 local - ties in with usual Reds notams.

It could be for Protector, but they tend to have 324a and b NOTAMs when they fly.

Re: 7 Italian Frecce !!!!!

Good to see them continuing.

Do they plan to go back to ten this year or will it be next?

Re: king's birthday flypast rehearsal 2025

I don't recall it ever having to be re done - lots of planning goes into it.

For example the Flypast over Waddington last year for the RJ and Reds took 5 months of planning - so something like this with multiple types from multiple bases must be more?

Re: king's birthday flypast rehearsal 2025

This should be pretty similar to the VE day flypast, but with presumably no RC135 as none are at Waddo, and with the addition of Chinooks at the front.

P8 probably stopping off at Waddo after the practice which seems to be the norm now.
