I think you mean Flypast, flyovers are for ground based vehicles.

Good lord.

[CJS]

Nonsense, as usual.

Thanks for the timings Euan, I may actually be around that neck of the woods so it's useful to know.

[Brevet Cable]

Glad it's not just me, then.
I can't be the only person who often wonders if it's really worth posting information on here.

Oh, and 'stagger2'.....if you want to be so picky, it's a UK forum - as in 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' - and most definitely NOT an English forum.

Euan, even though I wont be making the trip, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post the information, thanks.

Some people find it easier to criticise, often because of their own insecurity or inadequacy. Offering praise is much more rewarding.

Corrected it

[Tmyers123]

Corrected it

Fair enough, but there was no need to. Just the same forum members/grammar nazis picking on people for no reason whatsoever.

[Spiny Norman]

Thanks, Euan.

Two Typhoons tonight. There was a Hawk on Saturday.
