15:19 sounds like the Falcons are going to drop from a Canadian registered Do228

An F-35B has started up perhaps for a second attempt

15:26 Ghost 01 airborne in spare ZM143

His display time is 16:30 , can't really understand why they send him up so early when fuel will start to become tight

Honington must be having a display as well as Marham because the Hurricane is about to display and zoom climb over Hon

As I said above, Typhoon will not be on parade, but I believe that BBMF will be doing Marham and Honington - subject to etc.

I am intrigued, if you are an attending family and friends, why haven't they given you a simple A4 itinerary.
Sorry to contradict you but the Typhoon gave a superb display at Honington yesterday at the Family day 🤗

Cracking display from the Typhoon at RAF Marham as well.

And yes, we got an event booklet with all the display timings.

They have jumped from this aircraft for some time now. Not sure why its Canadian registered though.

I think it's a company contracted to do the parachuting along with the two Skyvans also based at Brize

Thanks for the info. I forgot about the skyvans. One was showing on fr24 the other friday night around rutland water. Apparently it was doing para jumps into the water. Not seen them do it there before.

Thanks

I knew about the Skyvans but I hadn't seen the Do228 before - sounded like a Canadian pilot in command.

Do they also do the flying for the Red Devils or only for the RAF team?

Just the Falcons, Red Devils tend to use a privately operated Islander.
