If you don't have Facebook its:
Lancaster

Voyager/Atlas

C-17

Posiden/ 2x Typhoons

RC135 / 2X F35

Reds

4xTyphoons

I've left gaps for each formation, and the Reds are showing separate from the Typhoons, but seen posts saying they are together

[plmc135]

Correction, the Armed Forces page shows the final formation as 4 Typhoons not Lightnings.

Marham is open today although not until 1:30pm which seems late

Are there already a pair of F-35B at Coningsby?

Is there a link to today's routing specifically for the Easter Anglia area?

And in the short spells I was watching, Dakota was mentioned twice with Lancaster.

Just watched back the Flypast and I notice Big Jets TV Jerry made the same error with the Red Arrows - Typhoon Section, he had Red Arrows and F-35B Lightning in his caption...

In this day and age there is really no excuse for inaccurate or poor reporting. There is so much info available online and plenty of people to ask to get it right. Although we may not expect the BBC to get it right, we really should - they are supposed to be professionals and a world-class channel.

A low point was one of the BBC presenters in front of Buckingham Palace asking an A400 pilot how the display navigate to the Palace and wondered if they follow the Thames to find it.

As I inferred, technology is not their thing otherwise they would know it's Google Maps

What is 'Google Maps'?
I thought RAF Bods went out and laid big white arrows on the ground so Pilots could see where they were going!

[Boneyard1]

Forces News reporter made the same mistake! Hopeless!

[Unknown74]

Doesn't say much for the MoD does it? It's not BBCs, Big Jets TV, Forces TV or any of the other TV Channels fault, it's the information they're given.....
