Had been monitoring Wyton 9as well as the other bases on the route) until I switched one radio to 281.95

I have a photo on my point and shoot, will have proper camera tomorrow, and 16 aircraft in diamond formation.

Nice one. A magnificent and a sad sight. A plague on the houses of those who have brought about the premature demise of this magnificent aircraft.

Just about to say the same. I am glad to hear and see the 16 x formation managed to navigate its way across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire only to fail to find Rutland. DOH !!!!! Although the return to base provided some impressive landings. Better luck tomorrow.

[das]

Ok, so here is the inevitable question... has anyone got the serials for the 17 a/c involved please?

TIA Ray
