Any news on this years PDA yet or is it a bit early!?

I asked this question about this time last year. Late May if it's the same as last year.

If the BBMF need a PDA for the Coronation it’ll be sooner rather than later.

They don't need PDA for flypasts, but presumably they will need to practice formation flying again.

Possibly next Thursday 25th for PDA ? Any info much appreciated as soon as anyone hears anything for certain.

PDA is this coming Thursday afternoon.

Possibly between 14.15 & 15.45 according to Royal Air Force Coningsby Facebook page.

Notam out for practice displays 0800-2000 that day.

Various times now flying around.

Anything from 1230 on wards in seems.

I’m here now.Nothing happening till 12.30 BST then ? No am practicing ?

Wrong thread Baz - Waddo shut today/yesterday for maintenance. Zone is back up and working today and Rj departed early doors.

An accurate assessment of the day

Lanc, Hurricane and Spitfire then two Spitfires. A Typhoon lifted off which probably did a display.

Assuming that the Typhoon didn't pass then? BBMF announced on various social media outlets that their PDA was a success, the Typhoon team are usually quick at doing so.....

posted 16 mins ago (as of 12:34) that Brighty has passed his PDA

has anyone ever heard of an instance where pda wasn't passed. Either for reds or typhoon?

Believe Typhoon failed in 2015 - no idea why just saw a comment recently on Facebook.

Not sure on the Reds, with them normally doing it over seas info is a bit limited.
