Post by Darren50 »

Currently just near North London, but did a circuit near Ingatestone. Any ideas why

TIA.

No one seems to know why they've just done a flypast over horse guards?

Looked up events & bbmf flypast schedule but can't find any info on what the flypast was for.
Does anyone know what the flypast was for?

Can't find any reason online, and nothing mentioned on any of the BBMF's various social media accounts as far as I can see. Might have to wait until the aircrew post on their accounts.

Yep, I looked up the usual sources & as there didn't seem to be much info my curiosity ran riot! 😉

Saw them fly by as they were on route to Northolt. It was nice to see the Lancaster as I haven't seen it fly this way in ages.
