[James Cutting]

Cheers Mike. Be a long wait at 19 for the recoveries but I'm determined to get them airborne..probably be too packed to move to 01 then back again lol.

Any NOTAM for Thursday? As going to Leuchars to catch the flypast.

I got the NOTAMS from here, although no mention of Thursdays route yet.

Surprised Coventry isn't included, especially RR Ansty.

With thanks to EGXW info, who has kindly plotted a route of Tuesday and Wednesdays sorties.

I'm wondering if the north Devon coast may provide a good vantage as they transit E-W along the Bristol Channel? I'd be pushing for time to get to Filton.

How many aircraft are taking part please.

06/24 is still shut-and apparently will remain so all of this week

Its been flattened. Not much left there now of the Rolls Royce plant.

[Richard B]

Depending how low they transit from Cottesmore, the way point at Broughton astley takes them past Croft quarry hill. High vantage point that could give a look down view if lucky.

Anyone planning on catching the flypast at Samlesbury?

Comparing RAF Marham's published times with the NOTAM. On Tuesday Wyton is listed in the 15:15 to 15:35 slot along with with Donna Nook and Holbeach. Wyton however does not appear in the NOTAM so will I be wasting my time going there? Don't have the time to go anywhere else on Tuesday's route.

Has anyone else seen some info on the flypast leaving Valley,then going on upto ARA 13 for a refuel?
Then making there way towards Warton,not sure if this is right to not, probably not.

The NOTAM for Tuesday says that between Valley and Warton the formation will be climbing to conduct AAR in ARA13.

[bob909]

Hopefully they won't be shy burning all that fuel then!

[powerslave]

Thats okay then, we'll have something to listen to before they come over Warton.

I've also noticed that. I'm just up the road from Wyton so it would make sense to go there rather than try and find somewhere to park, etc at Marham, which was my original plan. But like you say, the station Facebook page says one thing, the NOTAM says another
