Tornado final weeks info

[hernaman86]

Weather is not looking good at all for Thursday, i wonder if they will change the date or would it just be canceled?

[James Cutting]

No, they wouldn't change/cancel a disbandment parade; it is only a flypast over the airfield.

[plmc135]

The parade can always be held indoors

[hernaman86]

so just no flying?

[Vulcanone]

Correct. If the weather is carp, then they move the disbandment parade to a hangar and do it indoors and carry on without the flypast.

[Thunder]

Although there was a disbandment parade at Lossie a good number of years ago(pre 2002), that got held in either 1 or 2 hangar because it was raining, but there was still a flypast which seemed pointless.

[XR713]

Don't panic yet. Three days until disbandment parade. Weather forecast has changed for Thursday three times for the rains onset. Until we know the time of the parade and when the rain front is due we need not worry.

anyone making the trip tomorrow? me and my dad are going to go, think the weather may be okay come 2pm, was going to stop off at lakenheath in the morning but its not looking good, will plan to get there midday, maybe catch some lightnings too? i wonder if the farmers field will be okay to stand in?

[James Cutting]

Farmers field now fully closed to spotters as it has been ploughed and sown

[harvo266]

I’m also heading up tomorrow but have no clue where to go. Don’t know the line of flypast or anything

[hernaman86]

you want white road, just off the a1122, thats right at the end of the runway, was epic last time, shame about the farmers field though

According to BBC weather on mobile, rain should have eased by afternoon. BUT, very strong w/n/w winds will still be blowing straight across the 01/19 runway.

The Typhoon is severely restricted in cross winds, and the F35 is even worse.

Whilst the F15s will happily press on at Lakenheath runway 24, I would not expect any F35 activity at all.

Not a lot will stop the Mighty Fin.

[Blue Diamond]

RAF Marham tweeted about 45 minutes ago to say a weather discussion was taking pace within the hour to discuss the possibilities of flying. Decision awaited.

Maybe it is but they're intending flying a Tornado today.
