Tornado farewell flypast February 2019

[mirage41]

With only 17 flyables left ,my arithmetic tells me some detached ones need to rtb to ensure spare cover on the day.

It was reported on the 31st January somewhere, can't remember where, that the Tornado carried out the last operational sortie on that day, so would expect them to return soon if that is the case.

It has been posted in the Military Aviation section of PPRuNe that the last Op Shader sortie has been flown by Tornado and the aircraft will return to Marham this week.

When they arrive back from Shader most if not all will be the last time they fly so we will be down to 9 maybe 10 airframes soon.

MCO at Marham not confirming anything today.

Really goung to miss the Tonka, a farewell LFA tour would have been superb

Station Commander tweeted the possibility of announcing the plans on Monday.

All depends on the Rugby!

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

sorry for being dumb but please could someone tell me what's happening on Monday ? is it the second enthusiast event?

[Vulcanone]

That is on 8th March other than that nothing happening next Monday. Unless England win the rugby....

Then the station Commander might have an interesting tweety

[Blackcat1]

If he can make decisions via Rugby results I worry about the RAF! Lol

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

Well England won in spectacular style 44-8!!

[wdh]

does anyone know what time the flypast will be?

[James Cutting]

You'll know when we all know.

[Blue Diamond]

Station Commander Marham has tweeted that final touches are being applied to the finale flypasts. Happening on 19/2 central England and Wales, 20/2 south England and 21/2 Scotland. Locations to follow later he says.

got to change my day off
wonder where the 28th came from?

[James Cutting]

28th is still a very valid possibility, and this may not be all of the dates...there could me more planned. You can only fit 240 characters into one tweet, so you never know.

Sometimes, you just have to go with the info you've got available, till it becomes concrete.

[herc15]

ok we will wait and hope

[powerslave]

I think Warton would come under central England and Wales,hopefully.

I 'think' these are in addition to the local 9 ship on the 28th.

Sounds like these will be smaller formations visiting various locations.
