Queen's Birthday Flypast 2013 inc VC10

[AJW]

If any of you see this before tomorrow, get yourselves to Brize or the Mall in London.....The queen's birthday flypast this year is due to feature a VC10. If the MoD's plans stand, it will be the last time the queen of the skies will be involved in the QBF

Sad times

[AJW]

Very sad times, but at least she is being included this year! I can't think of may other types still in front line service 50 years after their maiden flight!

[ACLVC10]

Very true, the old girl has served us well

When is the flypast?

[AJW]

I believe it will pass over Buck Pal at around 1200. Trooping of the colour starts at 1030.

[Magnum]

ooh, I can't get to London but I can be at Brize.

Any chance of someone pm'ing approx. take off or return times?

[Manofmendip]

Are we talking about tomorrow?

[AJW]

I plan on being in London (on the mall) so can send a message when they pass overhead?

I'll try to remember to post here and PM you magnum

[Magnum]

Yes Dave it is tomorrow.

[AJW]

It would appear the flypast is actually due to take place at 1300 in London, so I'd expect them at 1310-1320 over Brize.

[AJW]

They just left London about 5 minutes ago

I was at Brize getting soaked to skin when they arrived.

Watched the red arrows flypast, peel out and land from right at the end of the runway.

Stayed until voyager and the 10 had landed then decided I to give in to the rain and have a very soggy drive back home.

Sadly I only had my phone with me so not much in the way of pictures due to the weather. Need to learn how to edit video before I can post one of them.

My rather shaky video taken with my phone as they came in to land after the flypast.

I was totally taken by surprise as the Red Arrows flew over before landing.
