[James Cutting]

Yes agree there ^

[tbower35]

Looks like something was posted on Twitter from Marham regarding a fly past Feb. 19, 20 and 21st. Locations to be named later today. Have any of you local guys seen this yet? I'm not local so that's why I'm asking.

[James Cutting]

Yeah it was stated about 3 posts ago. No locations yet.

Do we know if they will depart and arrive back at RAF Marham each day or might they overnight at one of these bases?

[Blackcat1]

Hurrahh!!!!

Yes depart & land at Marham each day

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

When will we know what times they will be going to each base?
Take it that nothing will be happening on the 28th after all then!

Since you missed it - quote from just 2 posts up "Timings to be confirmed later, and no other details yet."

[luke28]

37 locations over 3 days, superb effort.

[James Cutting]

Think the 28th is still potentially happening, for a larger 'Final' flypast.

Guess I'll be at Marham early...Who wants to setup a tent with me??

[reaper493]

9 ship on the 28th also confirmed.

Will fly over Cranwell.

...and in one of the replies, the Station Commander mentions that the flypasts for 19-21 February will be "just 3 very special jets", so I'm assuming that will be the 31 and IX(B) Squadron special tails plus the camo retirement scheme.

That's what I read elsewhere, source is usually reliable! ? Unless you know different, please tell.

There will only be chaos if people park where they please rather than where they should and not use common sense and observe the laws!
