London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
What's L/D?
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Lift over Drag ratio. One of the fundamental performance indicators in aircraft design.
It's worth noting that an engine out L/D will be lower than can be achieved with the engine idling due to the increased drag at the intakes and exhaust.

It was mentioned will have every type currently in use by RAF and from what I've read elsewhere I reckon (and hope) it may look something like this
3x Chinook
3x Puma
3x Jupiter/Juno
Dakota, Lancaster, 2x Spitfire, 2x Hurricane (BBMF)
9x Tucano
4x Hercules, 2x King Air
C-17, 2x A400M,
BAE 146, 2x Phenom
Voyager, Sentry, 4x Typhoon
Sentinel, RC-135, 4x Tornado
9x Hawk
7x Tornado, 4x F-35
21x Typhoon (100 formation)
9x Hawk (Red Arrows)
Brings you to a grand total of 98...close enough

Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Based on your guess, might as well chuck in two more Spitfires and get to the hundred!

Shadow isn't though.
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Doesn't the list need some Grobs i.e. Tutor, Prefect and Viking (!) to include every type in service?

M043/2018 for the rehersals, M049/2018 for the flypast.
No details of the composition, though.

Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Are we to assume the flypast will exit via Northolt overhead? Am planning to pop up to that area to see the flypast. No bothered about photos just want to see it.
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Looks like post Buck House some will head to NHT, some rumoured to be coming through LHR overhead and some further south. There appears to be 3 different routes in Swaffham, Thetford and Colchester.

Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
I usually head to Northolt for the QBF. The past couple of years, the 'display' is rather spread out. Fighters and Tankers were in formation, but the Reds seemed to take a wider route. BBMF / Choppers etc didnt even make it.
I'm off that week, so will probably head into London and watch it from there.

Here is a map from 2016 by the RAF ( I think ) which shows the routes the different elements took after passing Buckingham Palace.

Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Thanks for the info guys, it is mainly the Tornados and Typhoons I want to see, and maybe a F-35 or two?
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Does anyone have a time for the Flypast at the Mall?
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
What`s the best places for viewing and photography (if that's possible)

Depends what you want. I thought a trip up the Shard would provide a unique perspective.
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
St Pauls Cathedral i’ll be top of. Offers a very very good viewpoint!
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
Are they overhead at St Paul's? What if they go off track like they did on 9th June?

Thanks for that - do you need to book tickets or just turn up and puff your way to the top.

Very close to being overhead! I’ve been up there many times and haven’t been disappointed!

You do have to book tickets, online or you can buy them on the day!
Re: London Flypast 10 July - up to 100 aircraft
I want to avoid overhead shots - too many of those silhouettes from a few trips to the Mall. Bet you can nearly touch them though!
