I was just thinking about how much we miss watching out for the Edinburgh Tattoo Flypasts with the Tattoo being cancelled for another Year. Hope they'll be back next year hopefully/

Re: Does anyone else miss......
Fingers crossed r6pilot.........
Re: Does anyone else miss......
I miss that when we were lucky enough to get flypasts from Typhoon, or back in the day, the F3's from Leuchars or GR4's out of Lossie, because of a noise complaint, no more afterburner.
So, toward the end of the Month of August, any aircraft is barely visible due to low light as it is, at least you could see the burners if you were in attendance & it was Typhoon performing the flypast. Not any more.
Completely hypocritical though, as anyone who lives within 5 miles of Edinburgh Castle will tell you - Edinburgh has some of the loudest Fireworks rattling windows & setting off alarms every Saturday at Midnight when the Festival is in full swing.

I would hope that when the Tattoo does happen again hopefully Next Year, that we see a mixed Typhoon and Poseidon Flypast or even a Poseidon on it's own like with the Nimrods way back then. Then in the future one of the 3 Wedgetails and Tempests etc.

Did Nimrod ever do the Tattoo?
Seen it (Nimrod) flypast Murrayfield on occasion for Scotland Rugby games.

Definately seem to remember Nimrods on Tattoo Flypasts mainly on Weekends.
Re: Does anyone else miss......
I think there was a Nimrod MR4 one year.
Re: Does anyone else miss......
Absolutely miss the tattoo flypasts. I hope they will return.
Yes,a Nimrod has taken part in the flypasts before it got the chop.
I remember leaning out the window in my old flat at the Pleasance, focusing my camcorder at the crags awaiting the aircraft appearing over them. Had many a good laugh when Tonkas and Phoons set off the car alarms. Moved to Newcraighall and got a decent different aspect of the flypasts. Last I got if I remember correctly was the A400M. Great days!

Warning; Military aviation is seriously addictive!
Re: Does anyone else miss......
The MRA.4 must have been one of the flypast I actually missed. Think I went on Holiday and missed some.
