Queen's Birthday Flypast
« on: June 08, 2009, 09:08:50 PM »
Hi all,
Just read this on another forum thought it may be of interest,

Queen's Birthday Flypast 13-Jun-2009 13:00

Rehearsal day is Tues 9th, with 10th, 11th & 12th reserve days. The practice
will see RAF Waddington substituting as Buckingham Palace

Participants

BBMF
9 x Typhoons
VC10 + Tornado GR4s
E-3D Sentry + Tornado F3s
Red Arrows.

I wonder how many will show up on the box? Should get the BBMF,VC10 & E-3D.

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.
Everything about Airnav is fantastic. Airnav can do no wrong. Airnav is perfect. Airnav is divine.

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