Callsigns/serials correct according to PP/VR - I will always record the movements using observations by members whenever possible - these logs serve only as a record - info also obtained from Donny Radar Search Database]

Please note - I will only log the aircraft once per day - i'm not going to record the same jet going up 4 times a day with a different callsign and I would encourage members not to do so either - this isn't a movements topic, if you want to record the aircraft movements throughout the day please post it as a log on the Marham section as this topic is simply to log that the aircraft flew that day]

Was on its undercarriage in Monday. Think the plan is to have it ready in early July or sooner.

Anybody know what time and what airframes are going for the queens fly past tomorrow ?

[mirage41]

Grimly,

You can work it out yourself by backtracking from flypast time of 13.00 local.

Feet dry Southwold shortly after 12.30, form up over north sea from about 12.00, take off about 11.45.

Aircrew as in practice 07/06/2016, two allocated planes plus an air spare, from whatever is serviceable.

If you want to watch, go to Southwold where you will see the lot, not MAM where you'll see just a few Tornados.

Walberswick is much better for Photos, as they go dry feet right OTT river estuary (I'm sure that doesn't make sense ) that way sun is (just) behind you as you are positioned to the south of the aircraft

Hope this helps
