I wonder how many a/c involved. Hope to be able to see them, but will obviously depend on precise route.

[reaper493]

I'm hoping to see them too, hopefully they pass close enough to the west of Lincoln/Waddo for me to see them.

Think there must be a fair few, I was thinking 6-8?

Wouldn't think a 4 ship would need a NOTAM....

[Snoop 95]

Haven't seen or heard them so far. Nothing on ADS-B. Anyone had better luck?

[f-4]

Nope, just two Apaches wandering south of Colchester.

[Mike]

The Leeming FB page reckons that only 3 are due, strange having a NOTAM for just 3 aircraft!

[f-4]

Hunter 1 just left Wattisham

[f-4]

...but looks to be heading for Holbeach.

[f-4]

Viper 1 & 2 now heading north.

[f-4]

Machete 1 & 2 now heading north too.

[Snoop 95]

Machete flight seems to be carrying out manoevers around Royston or Bassingbourn

[reaper493]

Viper just been handed from Waddo to Humberside, continuing north, went to the east of Waddo, not seen.

[lindslow]

Viper flight, 2 aircraft seen heading North East over Trent near Scunthorpe at 1333.

[reaper493]

Viper 3 up, possibly heading to Leeming?

[Philwinward]

Interesting that the notam route had them basically following main roads (A14 / M11 / A1 ) not cross country.
