I've posted a couple of images from Saturday's A400M flypast viewtopic.php?f=19&t=223282

What are likely to be the best spots for photographing the Reds' departure from Edinburgh tomorrow? Obviously, it depends on which runway direction they use so I'd be checking earlier departures online before heading there. I've never actually tried the Showground as a vantage point and I don't know what would be accessible at 10am.

My defaults otherwise would be the M9 footbridge for westerly departure or near the approach lights off Lennymuir for easterly departure. I'd be cycling there so no time to make a dash for it if I pick the wrong spot! I'd prefer not to be shooting through fencing but it's not a dealbreaker. If there's any doubt the Showground areas won't be accessible, I'd probably be going for my default locations unless there's a better option.

Recent locations advice

Undated advice

Who told the haar that The Red Arrows were due to visit? I'll bet the visit is cancelled. Typical Edinburgh crap weather. At least the spectators at The Tattoo won't get 'drookit' for a change. The folks next week won't be so lucky.

That's what's worrying me. Fingers crossed it goes ahead.

Haar shouldnt be a prob if its just a fly past i would have thought if it stays at sea there landing from the west so they could do it

Any updates, or is it going ahead as scheduled?

Have heard the Edinburgh weather has beaten the Hawks.

maybe they cancelled not getting any scanner or 360 radar or flight 24

I'm at the Airport & getting nothing as of 2051.

Confirmed Cancelled all I can hear are the commercial taking off on runway 24 from my house.

Lol twr still said they were displaying but i think not lol

Shame really, disappointed, after such a lovely day to be let down by the Weather at the very last minute! .

One of my buddies is at the airport awaiting action, but I have said it's a no-show.

Oh well that saves me a visit to Edinburgh Airport in the Morning for the departure.? Shame…

Was planning to go for departure too, oh well Tesco it is then!
