Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
Nothing specific so far, just the "morning" window. I'm basing my early start on how busy 23 was for things like the disbandment of XV(R) and the squadron's final sortie - even if the flypast is later in the morning, getting parked anywhere on the track will mean getting along a good bit earlier, and I've got just over an hour to travel too.
Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
No timings though, just mentions morning which is a 3-4 hr window. Was intrigued why CosmosnautX mentioned an early start, but I don’t know what time he usually gets up at.

Thanks Cosmonaut, understand what you’re saying. The A96 can be a right PITA during the week, takes me an hour from Inverness on a good day

Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
Apologies for the confusion, Thunder!
Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
No NOTAMs have been issued with Scottish or Swanwick
I'll make sure the time are visible in all the sections from Monday, once Marham have announced them. Easiest way will be one of the staff making a global announcement, then it should appear in all sections
The flypast has caused at least 5 threads in various sections, i think I've locked them all. No point the same subject being discussed all over.

Posh are going to Wembley (albeit for a tin cup)

Hi again all,
Just to let you all know, the Marham Aviation Heritage Centre will be open for all 3 days of the FINale, so if you are up early and fancy a brew and chat all things Tonka and more please stop by. Remember, as in previous post there is a butty van directly opposite the centre or a Subway in the shopping centre next door to us to keep you fuelled up.
All the Best,
Marham Aviation Heritage Team

Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
I've been told Ulster Aviation Society are getting a Tornado and that the delivery will be the last ever flight of a Tornado, are you feeling a bit more special now?!!!
PS:Don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't materialise!!
Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
Sadly the Tonka for the UAS will be coming by road.
Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
Hoping that the Leuchars to Lossie leg will be via Aberdeen as I can't get Thursday off
I want 2% of GDP and I want it NOW!

Just in case anyone missed this if, they don't do Facebook. It's on the Official RAF Marham page:
So there might still be a chance to see one in the air if you can't make this farewell tour.RAF Marham :To clarify this is not the last ever time a Tornado will fly, just the dates we are able to do the flypasts around the country. Timings will not be released yet but will come later as per the original post.

Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
Probably also worth noting that the fields at 01 end for the taxi shots are still out of bounds - DO NOT enter these areas.
Although, I do not know if this will become accessible next week for the sake of the flypasts. Let's see...

Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
I've never been there before so just a few questions for you, are there any loos? (Missus will be in tow!). What time do you and the shops open and finally, which side of the road closure are you? From the viewing area, would I go round the west side of the airfield or the east? Many thanks.armra1972 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 6:02 pmHi again all,

Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
I’m interested to know timings & Route (North & Southbound) for the Scotland - Leuchars, Lossiemouth & Tain route for the 21st.
Re: Tornado farewell flypast February 2019
Its only 1 aircraft apparently.
