Helicopter rehearsal has just passed over Basingstoke (13:38) -

Element 1 (RAF) - 1 each Merlin, Sea King, Puma and Chinook
Element 2 (Army) - 1 each Apache, Lynx, B212 and Gazelle
Element 3 (Navy) - 1 x Lynx, 2 x Sea King and 1 x Merlin

Providing whip was another RAF Merlin.

Cheers,

Was a fantastic sight and sound, glad I was working at home today. I'm hoping they'll depart the same way tomorrow although have a feeling that was just for the rehearsal, they'll probably head South East like before.

Anyone know departure time from Odiham tomorrow as I may head up there.

Edit - Sea King AEW has just gone over on approach to Odiham followed by 2 Bell 212's outbound

[Offbreed]

I was working on Goodwood but I think that means no BBMF, OK I can live with that, no choppers because they will join north of that but most importantly looking at the diagram, the Tucanos may skirt around, is that how others see it?

Yeah I'm begining to think Goodwood could end up like a day at the Mach Loop, with just a few Hawks flying through.

[JBartlett]

If anyone is interested all the Tucanos taking part in the flypast tomorrow are at manston now.

Cheers

without wishing to sound like the harbinger of doom, cloudbase in the LHR area currently is about 700 feet.

looking at the forecast I think it is lifting and there may even be a few sunny spells later

[DamienB]

LHR were forecasting a lift to broken at 1,000 ft; now their forecast is saying scattered at 1,000 ft and 4,000 ft which is some improvement but still a bit dicey.

[FGR2]

Manic at Slough station. One train is sitting in the platform full, waiting to go. Queues for the next one 10:17 already!! Only a two car train can be used on the line.

[jesterhud]

Weather over Woking is currently quite nice at 10:00am, patchy blue sky cloud quite high now, i reckon it will be fine by lunchtime.

Typhoon's getting airborne

[tomcatforever]

All Typhoon's airborne, just went over head. Shame it's complete cloud cover Using 241.325 as air to air freq if anyone is interested

[DanH]

Typhoons have just overflown chichester.

[rdchawk]

RAF keeping queen waiting

Hooray the beeb didn't miss them - I think the Typhoons look good in formations like that.

275.625 active with something

[rdchawk]

FANTASTIC STUFF!!!!


Edited to even more fantastic as Red Arrows flew over my back garden in Hatfield on way back!!

[Inthrustwetrust]

Not bad at all.

Were the Reds on the correct track to be head on? looked like they were from behind at an angle on the box.

E 11 R by the hawks was terrific as was the 60 by the Tucano's and nice to see a VC10 over head.

Mind you the 2 x C130's were so close that on the box they looked less that half a fuselage length apart line astern. VERY impressive on the box, although the comentator saying saying that the 130's are very rare in the UK.

cheers

[krustydave]

Got back from VL just as the E II R formation went over Windsor.
Wonderful thing tv!
Great stuff!

[DeltaPapa]

Good to see HRH appreciation by the smile on her face for the flypasts.

[docmattc]

BBMF just passed over Royston heading home I guess (northwards)

[King Cobra]

Watched it on the internet while at work. The whole event was stirring stuff and the flypast was superb. It's a well worn cliche but nobody does a show as good as us.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

[Suki]

any reason for the GR4's to break formation?
