Can't deny that DBH are thinking outside the box, but a Brazilian Display Team in a flypast with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Dakota? That is off the scale. Looking like the theme for 2020 will be " Panic- an obscure nod to anything " Maybe they should include 80 years since Malta...

Obviously we will have to wait until the final scheme is unveiled, but insider sources suggest it will be styled on the Sukhoi T-50 pixelated scheme, BUT more grey & monotone!

What's wrong with looking yourself?? Or you could just sit-back & wait for others to 'give' you the info'. Small wonder the 'Secret Squirrel' culture grew so quickly.

So, if that's a 1600L end of Notam it's not gonna help the B-52 do Flypasts at the Sanicole Evening show. Belgium is + 1 hour on our BST, so I'm still missing a trick here?
