Tattoo Flypasts?

[Dex P]

Looks like change of plan - He’s now heading south. Just passed Carlisle

Strange! As it seemed initially to be heading tothe West, then decided to follow a Northerly route, then as stated, lost him behind Arthur's Seat. I presumed he was going to go around Fife to return to the North Berwick hold.Cheers for the info!

He routed round the north side of the Forth then crossed back into East Lothian around North Berwick and then headed directly south

[Dex P]

Cheers Stu!! B****r!! I could have kept the camera rolling in that case, until I did lose him altogether!!

Excellent something to look forward to - Yipee, now we have to see what goes over.

[Dex P]

I'll be looking out for this tonight! Hopefully the weather will play fair!

[stu5748]

Weather looks like it will be fine. Does anyone know what’s scheduled? Bet it’s Typhoons

[Unknown74]

I’m praying it’s Typhoons as well, really hoped for F-35s but seeing as they don’t seem to come anywhere near Scotland thought against it.

From 603 Sqn FB page.

"Tonight, the The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo flypast will be by 2 Royal Air Force #Typhoons from No 2 (Army Co-operation) Squadron who are based at RAF Lossiemouth.

Subject to weather and aircraft availability, the Typhoons be overhead at 9pm sharp."

Brilliant, excellent news.

Spartan 31 flight just called for start and taxi to 23.

[scimitar]

Cleared flight level 180 own navigation.

Scheduled for tonight, 2 Typhoons from No 2 (Army Co-operation) Squadron out of Lossiemouth.

And Spartan being a II(AC) Sqn callsign

[Unknown74]

Sorry to ask the same old question, take it no one knows the IDs for the Typhoons? I know it's too dark to read them off.

[eLaReF]

They didn't even show up on any ADSB radar, so no possible serials even if we did trust their hex-code

For some reason when I logged on earlier, none of the recent posts showed up including the 3:4pm one.
