Will be pot luck with any of the GR4Ts,
Have you looked at the weather tomorrow? Forecast to be dull and an easterly wind so Runway 06 in use,,Not the best combo for Marham.

Don't quite know which weather forecast that was , BBC showing west southwest 5 to 9 nots
Sunny spells from 1100 to 1700 so r/w 24 should be in use.

Quick update on "pinky" or ZG750. We are currently carrying out some fairly in depth overhaul of her and as a result she probably won't be flying for a few weeks. So I wouldn't make any special trip to Marham hoping to see it. I'll post an update on here when she is out and about again.

As I mentioned in the tornado gr4 thread this a/c has been scheduled to be scrapped in August, hopefully we will be taking her to a few shows before her final flight. It is scheduled to go to leeming with our 31sqn 100th anniversary trainer. I'll update on here of any shows we end up taking her to .

ZG750 is indeed active once again. It had its first flight today since we finished its overhaul.
The plan is to try and keep it active as possible before it is scrapped in July .
Expect at least a couple of flights a week from her until July.

And not noted flying in June at all, according the fleet status list page 1. Maybe one last flurry next week?
Will she last long enough for RIAT? I was lucky & caught her in Jersey, but there are still a lot of folks that haven't seen her!
