Post by Zoom »

I see one is planned for this Saturday 1815 although not sure if I'll get there in time.

anyone know what usually flies? (it hasn't been held since 2019)

Based on previous years, it will almost certainly be either a Typhoon or a C-17.

It could also be an A400M, a C-130J or a P-8A.

We'll just have to wait and see.

C17 carried out a flypast practise in the vicinity of Marham this evening - possibly related?

it was a A400M, due to a lineside fire on the tram I only saw it from the airport
