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 :grin:

Based on your guess, might as well chuck in two more Spitfires and get to the hundred!

Doesn't the list need some Grobs i.e. Tutor, Prefect and Viking (!) to include every type in service? :lol:

No details of the composition, though.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the info guys, it is mainly the Tornados and Typhoons I want to see, and maybe a F-35 or two?

Depends what you want. I thought a trip up the Shard would provide a unique perspective.

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!

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!
