Be interesting to see what aircraft come over? Think I'm at Saturdays Tattoo but will miss the flypast on the 10th due to prior engagement so hopefully will see a majority of them Weather permitting of course.

XW216 Puma currently in the Forth bridges/Edinburgh area at 1200ft. Presuming out for a practice before tonight.

Does anyone know where it is based for the weekend?

We had the Puma flying near us in the Craigmillar Castle area about 20 minutes ago. If I remember correctly, helicopters have been based at either Redford or Dreghorn barracks in the past.

I managed to track it as it followed the M90 to Milnathort where it dropped off. Looks like they were out for a little jolly.

Saw the Puma from the q getting into the Tattoo and the A.400 was going over as I was getting to my seat. Saw the backside of it from under the stand!
