Re: Not a farewell, but if felt like one

Lovely set of photos. The shots of them all in a line are fantastic. It is always great being on the flightline, watching and hearing the jets start up.
The Dutch F-16s will be missed at airshows across europe.

Hi all,
Quick question. Does anyone know where the helicopters would land at Windsor Castle? TIA
Mike
Think it’s called the “East Lawn” just outside the Castle grounds….JB will travel in motorcade from there into the Castle.
Thanks for the info CHINOOKER.
