Any ideas what this is likely to be? seems a bit early for The Reds?

Definitely not the Reds, they're still onky doing basic rolls and loops at the moment.

Height limit suggests Typhoon, but this year's pilot has already flown his last display, and don't believe next year's has started his work up yet.

Mike

thanks, I agree Reds usually March time, no idea what it may be then

Nothing showing on the NOTAM now for it.

Yes it is, not the usual program I use as I'm at work but still active on the DINS website

Having done some digging, various unconfirmed sources are suggesting this is a large flypast in practice for an RAF100 event next year. Apparently there are a number of practice flights planned.

Flight of 10 Typhoons plus one acting as whip just passed to the West of Spalding.

A post on twitter shows the start up/workings on '100' in the sky.

1 typhoon at the top of 1.
8 in the middle as 0.
1 at the top of 0.
