Thanks Kevin,

Surprised no one picked this up today, no posts in heads up etc.

I'm hoping they return to Coningsby after the flypast next week still in the '100'.

failing that, be nice to see so many RTB at the same time anyway.

Reds due off Scampton at 12.23 - Id think the Typhoon's away around a similar time.

Typhoons have to get 22 a/c together, Reds have to get 9 together, which they will do within minutes of take off, would think the Typhoons need a little more time.

The Typhoons departed around mid day for the practice last week, with only a 11 jets launched, just my thoughts though.

Looks like the planning and schedule is mapping out just fine.

Morning all.
Hopefully heading up to see the take offs today for the flyby could anybody suggest the best location for viewing please. I have only been up a few times before and have always parked at the large viewing area on dogdyke road.

Thank you

They should be using that end of the runway, so you should be fine there.

Clear blue skies for the past few weeks and today there it's a little cloudy. Hope it clears up as the day goes on.
