The practice was cancelled today lets hope for better weather tomorrow

[Chef_uk]

I don't think it will happen tomorrow either unless its early but with the rain moving up in the direction of the route and such high humidity i think it will be a no go. Keeping an eye online will be best for now.

cheers

Andy

[tornadopaul41]

[pikey01]

I think it could be, tristar just left Brize followed by 2 x vc10's. Might be a coincedence though so don't shoot the messenger!

[tornadopaul41]

[pikey01]

Couple of posts on Ukar saying it is on for today, claret 1 and 2 just arrived at waddington (credit to ursa_major) unfortunatly I can't give you a definate answer though.

[tornadopaul41]

[pikey01]

Not sure, the notams I've seen would suggest nearer 13.00 local, but stuck at work so only so much checking I can do. Sorry!

Hi all,

Just had formation of 2 typhoons and 2 F3 heading east for formation area with an F3 trailing as the air spare and they have changed to callsign blue 1-5
Lets hope i get to see them all coming on the run through to waddington.
