9pm as usual I take it and will it happen every night this year?

Hi

Ive checked NOTAMS. There appears to be 3 currently in force for Flypasts over the Castle as follows:

5/8 - Active from 2000BST to 2045BST
9/8 - Active from 2030BST to 2115BST
11/8 - Active frm 2030BST to 2115BST

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.

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!!)

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

NOTAMS also now advising flypast over Castle on Saturday 13th August. Active between 1900 and 1945 BST. (Tattoo Performance scheduled to start at 1930)

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

Len..

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.

Have just checked and there is still a NOTAM current for this Monday coming (15th) but nothing thereafter.

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
