Does anyone know if their exit route passes over RAF Northolt as they did last year? Me and the misses went up the mounds by the A40 Target Roadabout and got a great view.

There was a PDF map last year posted somewhere showing the route.

I believe they will go Northolt, Halton then direct to Brize. Either way the formation is going over Northolt :thumb:

Does anyone know if there's anywhere in East Anglia worth going to get some sightings of some/ all of the formation? Got a spare day tomorrow and could have a little jaunt if there's anything worth seeing!

After a quick search I've just found the route map and composition. Have read the rules and can see no reason not to list them. Please inform me if thats not the case and i will remove them.

So which channel is broadcasting the flypast then? BBC has just finished the Parade which is unusual as they usually cover it.

Mind you, the director is usually crap anyway, you barely see any aircraft!

I'm pretty sure they showed it on the BBC News channel last year (Sky 503).

EDIT :- It could have been Sky News (501) though ! :whistle:

You'll get it on BBC1 live shortly, but you need to press the RED BUTTON as it's only on interactive service. It'll be on the recorded highlights tonight on Beeb 2.

I got up on the roof at work to watch the flypast, got a few good pics but I can't post until tomorrow, probably evening as I'm working until the end of the England game and then some, it was good to see. Was anyione on Waterloo bridge, I heard the crowd cheer at the end when the arrers flew over. No E3, was there supposed to be ?
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
