RAF Marham is hoping for a GR4 and F35 formation flypast if it gets cleared.

The F-35 will not be crossing the Atlantic now since missing RIAT and Farnborough. Unless there is a different reason why they will be bringing them over here that no one knows about?

That all for this years thread.

Thank you all for following and for all your help and information through out the season, apologise information was not as in depth to previous year but commitments and getting older means less time, next year is a very busy year for me as I will be getting married in July but I plan to return with a 2015 thread in a few months time.

Hope to have you back then.

Kind regards,
Cott09
