Rehearsal day is Tues 9th, with 10th, 11th & 12th reserve days. The practice

Participants

I'm based in high Wycombe, and parked myself in the garden at 1 pm armed with binoculars hoping to see some of the aircraft en route from Northolt to Halton, alas didn't see a thing.  The ANRB did pick up two Tornadoes though.

Did 9 Typhoons make it in to the air or was it a case of smoke and mirrors?
