Because of the weather expected over Leeming tomorrow, things are not
looking good.
The Lancaster will not (as we speak!) be flying during the day, but is
scheduled to do a flypast at 1930 then land to taxi to 100Sqn.
Unsure at present what is to fly and not to fly and timings may slip.
Flying will commence as planned at 1200 with the Blades; followed by 100
Sqn Role demo at (1230).

Lancaster and Spitfire (1930+)
Timings are all flexible."

1000 Alphajet

Sorry - however its a lot brighter than expected at the moment! fingers crossed
Re: RAF F&F days 2012! (Not open to the public)
Sismore,(or anyone else who knows) is the Coningsby viewing area the best place to watch the displays or is there a better vantage point based on previous families days?Obviously people who have been to families days in the past should know the best viewpoint.I normally watch from the viewing area when I have been to Coningsby in the past.Do they roughly display directly above the runway?Thanks in advance for any info.

When I went to Coningsby for the PDA displays last month, the Typhoon and GR4s were using the main runway as the display line, with the crowd located on the north side of the runway.
Take a look at this guide, the viewing area is located at point B on the map, so if you want to watch with the aircraft directly overhead - you can walk south along Dogdyke road towards the approach lights (points D and E). However a better vantage point can be found at point G, known as the mound - you have a raised position overlooking the airfield allowing excellent viewing of air displays as they display directly overhead.
Hope this helps.

Re: RAF F&F days 2012! (Not open to the public)
Someone had best tell Wyton they have a families day then so they can ship in some families to attend. There might be a graduation though which would count for the Tucano.
There was no families day last year because there were very few people based here, there was a fun day at Brampton instead, and this year there are even less people based at Wyton, but again there is another fun day at Brampton next month.
As I said in my original post
I work at Wyton by the way, but then what would I know?.
