Hi Again

A quick check to the Tattoo website confirms the performance tonight (5/8) starts at 8.30 and at 9.00pm on the other 2 dates.

Gr8 the ideal way to avoid watching Eastenders - Won't see very many of them as I'm away for most of August.

[stu5748]

maybe the flying schedule is wrong, it says 5 Zulu for take off tonight. Two jets in the programme. Who cares anyway. I will be in the pub by then.

I think the flyover is usually for the start of the performance so I would be surprised if its not at 8.30. Could it be a practice run perhaps? If the weather keeps clear I might pop up Arthur Seat for a good view. However - I suspect the pub might also be calling too ! . Decisons decisons

One year I will get up there for it !!

And I promise not to well up when the lone piper plays "The Lament" from the battlements or when the bugler plays "The last post" (Gets me every time!!)

[Unknown74]

Is there anything up saying they'll be over 19th or 20th August?

Any idea wether there's a flypast on Friday 19th and/ or Saturday 20th? Just I'm away until then so would be nice to come back to one...........

Not yet but so far it looks like there's a flypast every 2 days (no performance on Sundays) so I would have thought there was every chance...................!.

NOTAM now issued for 15/8/11. Active between 2030 and 2115 BST

[stu5748]

No probs Will do. Should get clarification in the next 2 days if its on.

Am just back from tonights flypast. It was a single Tornado GR4 c/s Lossie 33. A rather nice passover of the castle at 1000 foot with some lovely pyrotechnics simulating an explosion as he passed. Very pretty.

Time to lie down now in a dark room

Fly past on tonight. 7.30 on the dot over the castle.
Unfortunately appears to be last one for more than a week.

Think one of them is recovering due to an emergency.

Hi one went up princess st at 1930 wow it was impresive, i think it was a simulated attack on the castle as there was a lot of gunfire as it past,i like to see the tourists getting all bothered about it
