Queen's Jubilee Flypast

Post by AJW »

I can only assume there are plans for a flypast this year whether it is for her birthday and/or jubilee.

If so, does anyone have any info on when it/they will be and what types are due to take part?

There is a link to a Notam in this thread which gives dates and times: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?p=1875552

Mind that the list of participants which is in there is a guess, there will be Typhoons, Hawks, Tucanos and the BBMF involved but as for the rest we'll have to be patient.

The number of aircraft likely to be involved suggests that at least a single VC10 should be involved - but we'll see. For the Silver Jubilee Flypast at Finningley in 1977, the initial STC Oporder did not include a 10 Sqn aircraft and the first rehearsal had been held before we became aware of what was afoot .... at which point 'representations were made' and we had one tacked-on behind a flight of 4 Hercs!
