Reds are due as there is a NOTAM for them 1155-1230.

Doesnt look like Typhoon is going as the main NOTAM only goes up to 5,000ft.

Anything else OTHER than Reds, as, I tend to "give them a miss" - (being bluntly honest :)



In past years I know they've had the Red/Silver P.37 Thunderbolt (I missed it) plus Sally.B & an Avro Anson - Even a French build Me.108 lookalike, etc

ANYTHING other than Reds...... :'( as "if" it were ONLY Red Arrows, then I wouldn't bother going, it's only down the road for me....

I guess if you've not got a reply no one knows anything?


Reds are due at 12.

Dragon 12 inbound

By the way the local roads can't cope with crowds outside for a family day so best to stay away

G-DKNA Aero L-159E ALCA and G-FRAW Falcon 20 were sent from Teesside as Draken 11/12. First time a 159 landed away.

I swung by about 1430 for a very quick look;

A P8 did a fly past as I was parking up which if ADSB is to be believed was ZP808 (my last one 😀). Did anyone please visibly confirm it?

On the ground there were a selection of microlights, other light aircraft and a Boeing 727 but of interest to me were;

F35 ZM166 ‘032’.
Chipmunk WK630 (G-BXDG).
Stearman 317 (G-CIJN).
Vampire LN-DHY in Italian marks.
G-HAHU Yak 11.
G-FRAW Falcon 20.
G-DKNA L159.
G-BYUO Tutor.
ZZ190 Hunter.

It looked like it’d been a great day. A P47, F15 and F35 flew over in formation as I was leaving and an A400 was showing nearby on ADSB so had likely been involved.
