Forces tv two days ago. Pilot said May!

any news on this?
has this happened already as i noticed the lanc was in the netherlands recently...

[TYPHOON3]

Surely sometime in the next 2 weeks ? I'm quite certain someone on here will let us know.

[CSO4495]

Has an exact date been known in previous years?

The Lanc has only done flypasts to date which I don't think requires a PDA?

[reaper493]

Exact date has been known previously, but the NOTAMs for typhoon display practices now have a big window, where as before they were only 30 mins, so not as easy.

I would think it's next week, if it hasn't happened already.

[reaper493]

PDA is the 26th May.

[C24]

You are certainly earning your crust this month. Well done

[Hunter49]

Thanks Rob

PDA is the 26th May.

Thanks for this info reaper. I assume this is for Typhoon and BBMF ? I'll book the day off tomorrow.

[reaper493]

I presume BBMF and Typhoon will do it the same day, they normally do, unless BBMF have issues - but all a/c appear serviceable.

Is there likely to be any road closures/parking restrictions on Thursday for PDA ? Mainly on Old Fen Lane. If so I'll take my bike and leave my car in the viewing area .Also any known display times would be a great help. Thanks in advance for any info.

[reaper493]

One of the bomber pilots has just departed Waddo in an E3, so either PDA is not today, or he's not going to be a display pilot this year?

[TYPHOON3]

I’m here now so hopefully it’s today.Any ideas on display timings please ?

[reaper493]

No - are any of the BBMF aircraft parked out? That's normally a good sign.

[reaper493]

Believe the BBMF PDA is planned for later in the day, how ever the winds could be out of limits, potentially curtailing todays plans.

[Br4v02z3R0]

Even if the BBMF are grounded, is Anarchy 01 due up today. Had a performance departure earlier on. Also is Blackjack on base?

Blackjack is broken at the moment

[reaper493]

Had 2 new(er) engines fitted last week I believe?
